That was probably the best text adventure I've played yet! I love how when I won, it played that catchy little techno tune...

My only complaints are that the GAME OVERs from examining items seemed kind of cheap, and that "I'm" was never capitalized.

Other than that, this was a delightful read with entertaining characters and a "metric sh*t-tonne" of sci-fi references.
