Whilst I've been writing the ZX Adventure Designer system, I've noticed the
Steamed Hams meme that has been circulating around Youtube for a while. If you're unfamiliar with this meme, it is a scene from
The Simpsons season 7 episode
22 Short Films about Springfield where Skinner invites Superintendent Chalmers over for a luncheon, but unfortunately his roast burns and he tries to rescue the situation by buying fast-food instead. A Youtube copy of the scene is in the spoiler below:
Anyways, I thought that this scene would be a perfect candidate for conversion to my interactive fiction engine which I used in the Spectrum port of
Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. There are different plot choices you can make here and there's more than one way to successfully complete the game.
It is available for download from Dropbox
here.
You can see one way to beat the game in the video below, but remember that there are other ways the game can end.

A special thanks to Einar Saukas for ZX7 compression, without which this tomfoolery would have taken up much more memory.
