Wow, thanks Rowdy Rob! Your kind words are deeply and sincerely appreciated.

I had thought about a save game feature, and probably would implement one if I wanted to do a longer game. However, as Bill guessed, I wanted to make a game that you could play through in an hour or two. There's also no way to get the game into an unwinnable state, so don't worry about experimenting.

BTW, it's really great that you guys are willing to beta test this game for me. Please let me know where you're getting stuck or if the game crashes.

One thing that seems to be getting people (and this is my fault) is the placement of direct and indirect objects. For instance, "USE GUN ON ALIEN" will work whereas "SHOOT ALIEN WITH GUN" doesn't work (yet, at any rate). I intend to add this functionality later...But for now, just remember to always put the object you want to use first in the command. And no, there are no guns or aliens in this game. ;-)

Also, don't forget to read descriptions of things very closely. Sometimes there will be other things you can examine that are mentioned in the descriptions.
