  Not too bad of an idea actually. I'd like more than the name and place
changed though. A couple of years ago I was over at a friends for a couple
of days, and while he was away at work I slapped together a little ADVsys
adventure for him. It was a quest for a can of Fosters Beer(if you've ever
seen one you'd remember it. The biggest damn can of beer you've ever seen,
and what a head on it!). Anyway, I threw in an australian desert, a river
that flooded occasionally, and his ex-girlfriends.

  After he got the hang of playing IF he really loved it. We thought it
would be great to make up a questionaire for people to fill in, and then
write a game for them personally. Never tried it though. I'm not sure if it
would really work as well as it did for me without actually knowing the
person.
