I am in my bedroom in the palace. There is a four-poster bed, and not much else. A portrait hangs on the wall. An exit leads north. And if you get lost, there is always the Coles' Notes, now presented in ever so convenient Power Point. [via Metafilter]

Also see the improved presentations of Hope is the thing with Feathers and Lolita. Literature has never been so good.

  • Nice!
  • You can tell I'm a text-adventure n00b, I keep getting lost.
  • There is some help below, and some hints, though they have tricks slipped in. Just don't try to fight Othello, okay? It's not worth it. Oh, and take the medical certificate. It's always good to have proof of your sanity about.
  • I can't even get out of the sodding bedroom. Gah! In other news, Hamlet in PowerPoint seems to come in both Folio and Quarto editions (requires PowerPoint, surprisingly, and congratulations to Brian, b3tan of note)
  • I'm having fun! Thank you! I'm directionally challenged, but it's fun moseying about.
  • I'm with Kimberly. I've picked up Yorick and spoken to everyone in sight, but it doesn't help when I haven't read Hamlet in years. It's fun to muck around with, though.
  • I got 10% in but there weren't any explosions so I left.
  • YAY I FINISHED!! (Heavily relying on hints. Because really, some things are not obvious if you don't have more than a passing acquaintance to Shakespeare.)
  • Somebody hurry and make Don Quixote into a text adventure.
  • Flashboy, that was beautiful. My friend started the text adventure, and was done in under a day. I'm still talking to the ghost.
  • ...the rest is silence. I would never have found the rope without the hints.
