OK, I'll ask. What's wrong with Homestarrunner? I've never heard of them and a quick search only came up with some reviews of their site, nothing about spam or spyware which is what I thought you were implying.

Not old school. Old school would be a text-only adventure with a two word parser.

It's a humor site. He just doesn't enjoy their humor, probably because Trogdor burninated his funny bone or something.

Infocom games were fun in those day. My favorite was Planetfall. Remember the child-like robot Floyd ?

That game was great. As a kid though those games were too hard for me. I never got anyway near solving them.

I have to revist the Infocom series.

Floyd! Sweet memories.

Did anyone get a perfect score on this? I got 144/150 but never figured out what to do with the guy by the wavy tree.

Here is a walkthrough but they didn't get perfect either:
