About the Story

Stop vegetating and come away with me on an exciting adventure to Farmtown, home of the rutabaga. You'll dig the rural life along a dangerous highway. Cope with the wild hare. Make stew. Get gas.

This game was originally written by John H Doolittle in Turbo BASIC for PCs circa 1989 and used in his 'Scientific Thinking in Psychology' classes when he was a professor of psychology at California State University, Sacramento.

It was ported to ZBasic by Eric Thornton and released commercially by Critical Thinking Press as game 2 in the 'Hangtown' trilogy. The Apple II release was in 1989 and the Macintosh release was in 1992.

The original author continued to update the game until 1996 and released the Turbo BASIC source code in 2023.
