Movies that feel like they are text adventures (interactive fiction if u prefer lame-o)

>look hard

People watch you. Judi Dench keeps talking.
"Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah. Can you help Riddick?"
How do you respond?
(I) don't care!
(W)ho cares?
(S)crew you!

>I

"I don't care!"
"Good so we can rely on you then!" Judi says.

see, this is why i still haven't watched it yet. it's supposed to be a horror but i've heard numerous accounts that it's completely hilarious.

and yes it just looks like the cube. of which is perfect for text adventureism.

but i'm going to nominate Raiders of the Lost ark

A plane engine may fall on your house if you do not stick an axe into the school mascot statue.

s) stick axe in statue
b) burn down pedophiles house
c) chat up hott chixor next to you in class

... etc.

Cop Shop
You are being interogated by the cops, there is a pinboard on the wall.

>MAKE SHIT UP

They believe you and the audience are fed up and go home

Well I never! Real adventurers do not use such language!

You are in a motel room.

You can see:
Your scrapbook
Some Polaroids
A telephone(ringing)

>READ SCRAPBOOK

The scrapbook reminds you that you are hunting relentlessly for your wife's killer.

The phone continues to ring.
You notice your entire body is covered in tattoos.

>EXAMINE TATTOOS

Among other things, the tattoos indicate that you should never answer the phone, and to remember Sammy Jankis.

>GO TO LOBBY

You are in the motel lobby.

You can see:

A nervous looking desk clerk

Teddy comes in from outside.

"Lenny!" Teddy greets you.

>EXAMINE POLAROIDS

etc.

Your dinner companion is speaking.
"Thirsting for a way to name the unnameable, to express the inexpressible?"

How do you respond?
LEFT: Trenchant Insight
UP: "Tell me more"
RIGHT: Bon Mot

(watched it today, was full of puzzle setting and solving - Follow The Blue Arrows...)

;-)

FUCKING SO OTM

god I wish more games I mean movies I mean philip K dick adventures I mean games would let you just get a package with your entire inventory in it right at the beginning

I mean imagine how boring the film would've been if we had to follow Ben Affleck around while he COLLECTS the watch, the fortune, the paper clip, the bullet, the stamps and the lens and the ball bearings and the half dollar coin and the infragoggles and the cigarettes and the matches and the etc. Oh wait, that's why I don't enjoy text adventures/interactive fiction/Sierra bullshit!!!

YES. "The Man Who Knew Too Much"

The phone is ringing. The screams of your family emanate faintly from it as you reach feebly for it.

>TAKE OFF SHIRT

You take it off.

>USE SHIRT AS A TOURNIQUET; SAW OFF LEG; SCREAM UNINTELLIGABLY;GET GUN;LOAD GUN;SHOOT VOYEUR

Man, that would be great.

There was a moment when Ben Afleck opened up a car bonnet to look at the engine, the engine was trashed and he looked at it and said "The engine looks like it's been flattened with an industrial presser" (or something similar), which just sounded like the result of an 'examine' command.

That movie is so Text Adventure it hurts.

If I were rich, I would love to spend my days creating obsessive artifacts like that. Trying to think of other works that could be recreated in a similar fashion...
