Cut the Red Wire! No, the Blue Wire!

Cut the Red Wire! No, the Blue Wire! is of the one turn game genre. It's short,
and could have used with a bit more deviation in responses, but in truth had it
been randomized too much the player might spin their wheels even more than they
already do. Basically, I thought this was frustrating and unsolvable and was
cursing David for writing a game with a show-stopping bug... until I realized
that it was written just as he'd intended it. When you *do* win, especially
after the frustration, it's quite satisfying. Clever (if quick) work, Mr. Whyld.

This game doesn't offer much in encouragement, creating a
lot of frustration, but it is fun and well-written, and the (singular) puzzle is
solvable.
Try anything you can think of for a potentially funny
response, but expect a tough time actually solving this one; you'll have to
think outside the box.

This is a very short game with some quite amusing responses in David's usual
witty style. I played it for a bit, got blown up numerous times, gave up as you
only have one move to input the correct command and I could not work out what it
was.
I have to say that, knowing David's preference for ADRIFT 4, I assumed that he
had written using that and so I ran the game using the ADRIFT 4 Runner.
I then ran the game using the ADRIFT 5 runner and to my great surprise a
character called Stacy was listed after the location text. As this character was
not there when I ran the game in the ADRIFT 4 runner, I must therefore assume
that David used ADRIFT 5 to write this little ditty.
The line breaks are in need of attention but that's just me being picky. All in
all an amusing but frustrating five minutes worth.
