How It Begins
You are Duncan Bowsman at a young age, invited to play a game of Jinx by one of his brothers. Unfortunately, since you can't actually be him and his brothers can't be available for comment every time someone fires up the program, Duncan's brain has been replaced with a text parser interface and JINXTRON stands in for his brothers.
But the gist is still the same.
Notable Features
- Does not use standard IF commands. Instead, typed words are understood to be spoken words. A blank line is understood to be something spoken, but incomprehensible.
Trivia & Comments
