me too, it was always a pain with some of them of getting the syntax right, hence the "CLIP" part.

You forgot the best part of text-based adventure games, which was inputting some ridiculous command and having the game tell you "I don't understand that."

On a text adventure? Heh, we can't have that. Where would the fun be? It's all about making typos and increasing typing speed. Now if it had a timer in the text adventure, and the king would scold you if you didn't roll up enough things, then... Yeah, but rolling up three tacks would take some amount of time.

How about linking it to eBay some how (by search?) and then roll all of the eCrap together. Size could be based on shipping cost.
