Long before Ars Technica beat me to the punch, I had the idea to create a Choose Your Own Adventure using hypertext links. (I’m sure it’s been done in the past, but I’m surprised it hasn’t been done more often.)
Apathy took hold before I could throw anything serious together, but not before I collected some of the choices that would exist in my story. I found my list while cleaning out stuff earlier today; here it is, for posterity:
- You are reading a “choose your own adventure” webpage. What do you do?
CLICK A LINK
CLICK A DIFFERENT LINK - It is dark and you are hungry. What is your next move?
MAKE A SANDWICH
KEEP BROWSING THE INTERNET - Suddenly monsters appear:
GO HARD
GO HOME - OMG I think that monster is following you!
RUN
RUN FASTER - Your friend wants a drink:
SURE
COFFEE’S FOR CLOSERS ONLY - A Nigerian banker has contacted you. He is willing to pay you top dollar for your assistance.
DEAL
NO DEAL - When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re going to see some serious…
SHIT
STUFF - The one-eyed swordswoman attacks!
HEAVEN
HELL
GO FOR BROKE - Greed is:
GOOD - Regarding the aliens:
THEY ARE OUR FRIENDLY INTERGALACTIC NEIGHBORS
THEIR INTENTIONS ARE MORE SINISTER - He Who Must Not Be Named stands before you!
SWEEP THE LEG
BUT SENSEI I CAN TAKE THIS GUY
