Does anyone have extra cartoons that came with this?! I mean if you don't own all stuff including, I am willing to buy the cartoons. My package is missing them, I need them BADLY!!!

A clever, imaginative, and oftentimes downright silly entry in the Infocom canon. This is actually a collection of eight small text adventures, with a common theme of bizarre wordplay linking each. To solve it, you'll have to do some real outside-the-box thinking, and remember all those dumb expressions and idioms you've heard in your life, since you're going to encounter many literal representations of them in the town of Punster. You'll make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, look a gift horse in the mouth, teach an old dog new tricks, make mountains out of molehills, and more. A treat for anyone who likes to have fun with the English language!

By the way... On the C128 this can run in 80-columns mode. Much better.

Totally crazy word-play game. Takes a while to make any sense of this, but then it's fun. Almost impossible to solve for people like me for whom English is a second language though.
