ClubFloyd Transcript:
Zigamus: Zombies at Vigamus! by Marco Vallarino
How to Win at Rock Paper Scissors by Brian Kwak
As played on ifMUD on November 6, 2016

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Zigamus: Zombies at Vigamus! written by Marco Vallarino, and How to Win at Rock Paper Scissors written by Brian Kwak. You can learn more about the games, including how to download them, by visiting the IFDB pages: Zigamus: Zombies at Vigamus!, and How to Win at Rock Paper Scissors.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing these games, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played these games, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Floyd | There is a new coin-op at Vigamus: it is called "Zombies Attack!" and
Floyd | it should be the ultimate survival horror game. Unfortunately, it's a
Floyd | bit too real for you: as soon as you turn on the case, an army of
Floyd | decaying and hungry zombies swarms out of the screen and into the
Floyd | museum, searching for brains to eat.
Floyd |
Floyd | Seeing the monsters, Metalmark faints like a damsel in distress, so
Floyd | it's up to you to save Vigamus and Paddy, stuck in her office. Surely
Floyd | you can find something useful to fight this horrible menace in the
Floyd | museum's rooms. So, keep your eyes peeled and... no panic!

Floyd | In a text adventure, each action needs to be typed in following the
Floyd | verb + object syntax: TAKE BALL, OPEN DOOR, EXAMINE JACKET, WEAR HAT,
Floyd | TALK TO THE GIRL, ATTACK THE ZOMBIE...
Floyd |
Floyd | In order to go from a place to another, you need to type in the
Floyd | direction you want to take: NORTH (shortened N), SOUTH (S), EAST (E),
Floyd | WEST (W).
Floyd |
Floyd | The command INVENTORY (I) makes you visualize the list of object in
Floyd | your possession, while LOOK (L) brings on the description of the place
Floyd | you are in, and SCORE will tell you which point of the story you are
Floyd | in. With SAVE you can save your position in a file, and to continue
Floyd | playing from that, you need to type RESTORE.
Floyd |
Floyd | Verbs you can use in this game are: TAKE (T), EXAMINE (X), GIVE, TALK,
Floyd | WEAR, REMOVE, OPEN, CLOSE, BREAK, ATTACK (K), HIT, CUT, THROW, SWTICH
Floyd | ON, SWITCH OFF, PLAY and, of course, many others.
Floyd |
Floyd | Exceptionally, in this game you can also type the verb USE, but try
Floyd | not to abUSE it!
Floyd |
Floyd | Examining the objects and details in the descriptions of the places
Floyd | will make you find some hidden object and useful clues to proceed in
Floyd | the game.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can also ask for HELP, SAVE your progress on a file, RESTORE it,
Floyd | or check your SCORE. Last but not least, UNDO allows you to go back
Floyd | one move, even after dying.

DavidW says, "That was oddly satisfying."
Khalisar says, "I chat with Marco fairly often, do you mind if I send him this transcript? Since I don't expect it to be published (this being a comp game and the comp still going on). Maybe you planned to do that yourself though."
Doug says, "I don't think we could have won it without a full score. The puzzles seemed to gate things pretty linearly"
Doug says (to Khalisar), "fine with me. Jacq might be able to clean it up for you, too"
Khalisar says, "nah, don't think that'd be a problem"
BrianK says, "The transcripts will eventually be posted on the ClubFloyd page eventually"

BrianK says, "double eventually"
Doug says, "but yeah, easy enough to just cut & paste"
BrianK says, "I think the game works really well for an introduction to parser games, which I'm guessing this is supposed to be"

Floyd | There is a new coin-op at Vigamus: it is called "Zombies Attack!" and
Floyd | it should be the ultimate survival horror game. Unfortunately, it's a
Floyd | bit too real for you: as soon as you turn on the case, an army of
Floyd | decaying and hungry zombies swarms out of the screen and into the
Floyd | museum, searching for brains to eat.
Floyd |
Floyd | Seeing the monsters, Metalmark faints like a damsel in distress, so
Floyd | it's up to you to save Vigamus and Paddy, stuck in her office. Surely
Floyd | you can find something useful to fight this horrible menace in the

Floyd | "Zigamus" was written in Inform 6, an object-oriented programming
Floyd | language similar to C, created by Graham Nelson and dedicated in
Floyd | particular to the development of text video games. The best way to
Floyd | learn it is reading the Designer's Manual available on
Floyd | inform-fiction.org.
Floyd |
Floyd | The game's beta testing was made by the "guinea pig" Alessia Padula,
Floyd | who tested a (very) alpha version of the adventure, and by Paolo
Floyd | Lucchesi, Rosa Squeo, Davide Somma, who played the beta version. Then
Floyd | it was translated into English by Francesca Noto and succesfully
Floyd | tested by Toby Ott. Sabrina Nofroni is the one who drew the cover art
Floyd | for the 2016 IF Comp.
Floyd |
Floyd | This game is a tribute to mine and Metalmark's passion (and Paddy's
Floyd | too, I hope) for Interactive Fiction and zombies, in particular for
Floyd | Z-Nation's ones. When I was asked to write a text adventure placed in
Floyd | Vigamus I thought about something that could be a tribute to the
Floyd | wonderful show of games and gadgets in the museum and, at the same
Floyd | time, could help people familiarize with the basis of this genre.
Floyd |
Floyd | If, after finishing "Zigamus", you would like to try other text
Floyd | adventures, please have a look at my website www.marcovallarino.it and
Floyd | the Interactive Fiction Database: ifdb.tads.org.
Floyd |
Floyd | Vigamus waits for you in Rome, via Sabotino 4. It is open from Tuesday
Floyd | to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.: apart from many objects, games,
Floyd | gadgets and interactive areas, it often hosts events about gaming and
Floyd | retrogaming, which you can read about on www.vigamus.com and
Floyd | www.fb.com/vigamusrome, where you can also find the pictures of past
Floyd | events and info about the other activities of the museum.

BrianK says, "For posterity"
DavidW says, "A similar game to this one is 'Phantom of the Arcade'." Doug | Vigamus, the Video Game Museum of Rome, has been attacked by zombies. To save it from the monsters, you can only count on your brain and the relics and gadgets exhibited in the building.
Doug says, "that's the blurb on the comp site."
DavidW says, "oops, I didn't say it on channel"
DavidW says, "oh, neat that it's in an actual museum."
Doug says, "heh, the comp cover art has a zombie pac-man (with teeth). I didn't notice that before"
Doug says, "oh, hah, I didn't even notice that Vigamus = Vi Ga Mus."
DavidW says (to BrianK), "One game where your inventory changes who you are is "Within a Wreath of Dewdrops, or, A Poisoned Zenith" by maga and Jacqueline."
Doug says, "I've heard of them!"
BrianK says, "Oh yeah, I've played that one"
DavidW says, "I'm not sure if there's anything else with that idea."
BrianK says, "There's also Midnight Swordfight, which lets you perform different actions based on what you're wearing"
DavidW says, "oh right"
DavidW says, "There ought to be something like that Bugs Bunny cartoon where there's hats everywhere and whatever hat you're wearing determines who you are."
BrianK says, "I'll jot it down in my ideas list and see if I get anywhere with it"
DavidW says, "yay"
