Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

A computer program I wrote when I was 11, called 'Zombies' (pics)

Clearing out some old papers I just found this musty old document from 1983.

It's called Zombies. I think it's in BASIC. Here are the front and final pages of 15 in all. Have no idea whether it would actually run.

I must have been a fairly strange kid - various dreadful things happen to the main protagonist when he selects the wrong option. These include electrocution, death by fire, being roasted alive, super heated steam burns, bombing, becoming a grizzly bear's meal, falling into a spiked trench, being attacked by Stuka dive bombers, earthquakes, deadly snake bites, and being executed by Samurais.

The weird thing is that the quest ends with the contestant entering New York.
