Stack Overflow

About the Story

Stack Overflow is a catchy name. Can you believe that until now there was no IF titled Stack Overflow? I guess you can. So get ready to be involved in the strange sequence of events which have nothing to do with stacks, overflows and even kitchen forks.

>INVENTORY - Paul O'Brian writes about interactive fiction

[A]fter a while of bashing at mysterious machines, I decided I was stuck, and checked the hint system, which let me type HINT <object> for whatever object I needed help with, and then issued utterly useless statements like "A little experimentation should probably be helpful for you" and "No giveaways on that one!" Groaning with frustration, I turned to the walkthrough, despite the game's insistence that I "shouldn't need it because of the revolutionary hint system this game provides." Snort. Guess what? The walkthrough didn't work either -- it expects objects to be present that are not. In my book, that's a fatal bug.
