----------------------------------------------- "Ninja v1.32" By: Paul Allen Panks (dunric@yahoo.com) IF-Comp 2004 entry, July 4, 2004. Version 1.30. Updated on November 16, 2004 to version 1.32. ----------------------------------------------- You are a lone ninja, protecting a shinto shrine of Japan. Your goal is to avoid capture by the Evil One, a deft ninja from a rival shrine. He is nearby, but you don't know exactly where. And it is dark outside, with only your senses to trust... There is only a main room, but points are awarded for the powers of observation, keen sense and ninja aptitude. Points are subtracted for clumsiness, foolishness and utter failure. There is said to be a rare golden idol in the Evil One's shrine to the west. You must reach it before the rival ninjas find out! Verbs in the game include: EXAMINE, LOOK, INVENTORY, GET, TAKE, SAVE, SCORE, GO, DROP, NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST, UP, DOWN, CLIMB, USE, ENTER, CUT, CHOP, KILL and QUIT. 'Can you defeat the rival ninja clan?' Sincerely, Paul Allen Panks dunric@yahoo.com Updated: November 16, 2004
