?Unknown Episode - Part 8

[davidn]

In part eight, which holds the record for the Youtube video with the most consecutive "W"s in it, the game reaches at least two of a series of several climaxes that it's going to go through over the next hour of gameplay. Almost uniquely, it also has us making a correct decision at one of the branch points - I made a slide to stick in for when we were saving, and it was just after I'd added it to the video that I remembered that virtually none of our audience will know what it's meant to represent.

It's times like this I wish my predecessor had actually bought up some 5½″ disks up along with a suitable drive. (He had plans to try to make a ZZT game sufficient in length to take two worlds, then release it on the lower-capacity 5½″ media, primarily for the purpose of being able to show off a high-class password mechanism and then legitimately ask the user to insert disk 2… I wonder whether it's too late to dust that off. Probably is. Hmm.)

I actually found two 5½″ floppy disks at the back of my wardrobe while cleaning it out yesterday. I remember saving them a long time ago, because I had strange notions that technology would somehow one day come full circle, and it'd be great to take them out and reminisce about when games could have only 8 colours and still be amazing. :P I don't have a drive, though, so barring any ouroboran tech-level time loops, I think I'm probably out of luck. :P
