HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Today is the one year anniversary of the internet sensation "Star Worz". Presents are not necessary, just click on the ad above at the top of the page once a week for the month. That's all the gift I need.

Well, that and a copy of this new video game I was playing today. It's one of those text based games like Zork. This one is called
"Flight To Canary Island". It plays something like this:

>You are at an Mauritanian airport. To the north is a gate for >the flight to The Canary Islands.
Walk N
>You are on a plane to The Canary Islands.

>The plane takes off.
>You are sitting in the fifth row.
Stand
>The pilot has not turned off the "Seatbelts" light
Wait
>The pilot has turned off the "Seatbelts" light
Stand
>You are standing in the fifth row
Change plane course
>Not a command
Say change plane course
>No one is listening
Demand change plane course
>No one is listening
Draw two automatic pistols
>You have no paper
Pull out two automatic pistols
Say change plane course

>Everyone is listening. To the north is the cockpit. To the south >are the bathrooms
and kitchenette. To the east and west are >wings.
Go N
>You are in the cockpit. There is a pilot.
Point two automatic pistols at pilot.
>Pilot asks "what do you want?"
Tell pilot.
>.... tell pilot what?
Say change plane course to Paris
>The plane can not go to Paris
Say go to Paris
>There is not enough fuel to go to Paris
Say go to Paris
>You will crash and die
Say go to Djala, Morocco

Demand go to Morocco
>Permission refused by Moroccan authorities
Use two automatic pistols on Moroccan authorities
>Are you going to shoot them through the radio?
Go to Canary Islands
>Pilot begins to speak
Listen
