And please, help each other out, but no spoilers or walkthroughs! That kind of defeats the point :P

Hmm.

I can't figure out what to do with the Mortal Kombat guy. I've already figured out the rest, examined all the rooms, tried to pick up just about everything but I can't seem to figure out what that guy wants.

It was pretty fun... And as a little tip: the answer is hot and brown...

My guess is since he likes bad games, he'd *really* like a *really* bad game.
And there's one in a room very near him!
The problem is, how to get the damn thing.

That was a lot of fun! Now, if only I had written down where to enter the code...

EDIT: That map is gorgeous Landslide, well done!

I need chapter 8 now and that's all I think, but I've looked everywhere.

I'm sad now...

Chapter 8 is the Revolution X thing, see what hints were given to me just above.

Unfortunately, whilst I know what I have to do I have no idea how to do it!
I can't get the damn game out of the machine.

Me neither, is there a turn limit on this game?

If there is then I'm screwed.

I like that the game recognised the verbs "hit" and "kill"

All I was left wondering was how to get the full score. I got the extra points for the suit, and ROMEEROOO, but I still need 10 points to get full score. Any help?

Now we make you play Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It'll be fun watching you tear your hair out, and giggle.

I realize that the ghost wants something hot and brown, but I can't figure out how to pick it up, I know where it is, and where to go to do what I need to do to it

*Edit
Never mind I figured it out

I've no idea what to do with the Mortal Kombat ghost. All I have is the key, that useless costume, and the essential book.

I had this problem too... a certain room has a certain something that still hasn't been used, play with it for a while, and the correct command will come to you... quite literally ;)

That was fun, and a little challenging since I never really play text adventure games.
