Pale Luna
Back then in the 80s would trade floppy disk that had games in them no one liked the game because the game only seemed to accept these commands where pick up gold , pick up shovel, pick up rope, open door, go east soon the player would be presented with the following reap your reward pale luna smiles at you you are in a forest there are paths to the north , west, east and at the end would say comand what quickly infuriated the few who played the game was the confusing and buggy nature of the secound screen onward only one of the decisions would be the correct one for example a command other than north would lead to the operator had to rebot the entire computer further subsequent screens seemed to merely repeat above text the only accepted commands that where not related palmers where used gold which caused the game to display the message not here ,use shovel would brought up not now , use rope which would prompted up you already used this however one young man named Michael Nevins decided theres more to plae luna then meets the eye so after 5 hours and 33 rebots he finally got the game to say something different the new text read pale luna pale luna smiles wide there are no paths pale luna smiles wide the ground is soft pale luna smiles wide here commond it was another hour still when Michael stumbled upon the proper combination of phrases to make the game progress any further dig hole drop gold fill hole this caused the screen to display congratulations after some deliberation Michael came to the conclusion that the number record for mines of latitude and longitude the coordinates led to a point in the sprawing forests dominated the nearby lassen volcanic park as he possessed more free time then since he would vowed to see palde luna threw his ending the next day armed with a mat a compass and a shovel he went on his way navigating the parks trails nothing with amusement each turn he made correspondent roughly to those he took in the game though he initially regretted brining the cumbersome bigging toolon a mere hunch the path similarity Alba confired his suspicions that the journeye would leave him face to face with ecentric buried treasure its not a gret he was pleasanty literal stumble upon a patch of uneven dirt shoveling as excitedly as he was it would be an understatemnet say that he was taking it back when his heavy strockes unearths badly decomposing head of blond haired little girl
