It's the Lounge interactive early 80's Text Only Adventure thread.
You are in a darkened room. That, or you have no eyes. Either way you can see very little indeed. You have - A robe A towel A penknife An 8-track copy of 'Frampton Comes Alive' The vague feeling that something very toothy is about to eat your head. You can go - Up Down Insane Turns remaining until Koknok the Destructor destroys Morgoland - 7.

5. You hit your head on a flat, painful surface.
You get the feeling that if you do that again much more, death may occur. Turns remaining until Koknok destroys Morgoland - 6

18. You bleed on the surface.
Very little ensues. Somewhere, at the back of your admittedly tiny mind, the though occurs - 'maybe I should do something about the darkness?' Turns remaining until Koknok destroys Morgoland - 4

28. You flip the lightswitch.
You are outside at the bottom of a completely unclimbable pit. Elrond looks at you quizzically. Bulbous eyes stare down from above. Turns remaining until Koknok destroys Morgoland - 1

29. Realize that if the pit is unclimbable I couldn't hit my head
Stab Elrond with the penknife. Go back to bed.

31. Koknok destroys Morgoland.
The small occasional table crumples under his mighty fist. Satisfied, Koknok heads to the pub. Elrond cleaves your skull.

6. You can see nothing, therefore your knife falls downwards.
Unfortunately it pierces your chest directly above your heart. You die. You scored 1 out of 5,600

13. You attempt to defy all physical laws in order to climb the tree.
Unfortunately, death gets in the way of all such activity. A small, surly Troll comes along and starts to gnaw on your head.

21. You have no flashlight.
All that exertion looking for the non-existent flashlight is making you even less alive than you were already.
