Raising the Flag on Mount Yo Momma — 46 of 87

Chapter Things

The arcade machines are scenery in the Arcade corner. They are plural-named and lens-searchable.

The description is "You recognize some of the names: Bubble Bobble, Pong, Zork, Tetris. Really old stuff[if Vincent is in the location]. Vincent is fervently bashing the keys of something called [']Escapade!['][end if]."

Understand "bubble", "bobble", "pong", "zork" and "tetris" as the arcade machines.

Understand "game", "games", "machine" and "video" as the arcade machines.

Instead of playing the arcade machines:

say "You're not here to play games."

Instead of switching off the arcade machines:

say "They'd kick you out if you went around sabotaging the games."

Instead of switching on the arcade machines:

say "They are already running."

Instead of inserting the coins into the arcade machines:

try playing the arcade machines.

Instead of searching the arcade machines when the coins are unseen:

say "You scoop up a good handful of coins from the coin return slots. Good thing Vincent is not brainy enough to collect his rejected coins.";

now the player is carrying coins;

remove the hints from the arcade machines;

remove the hints from the Escapade game;

award 1 point for "finding coins".

Instead of searching the arcade machines:

say "There's nothing to find from the machines."

The Escapade game is scenery in the Arcade corner. The description is "The title [']Escapade!' and the headline 'Experience it in exciting 3D!['] is written on top of the machine in cartoony red and yellow letters."

Instead of playing the Escapade game:

say "You're not that interested in the game[if Vincent is in the location]. Besides, Vincent is occupying it[end if]."

Does the player mean playing the Escapade game:

if Vincent is not in the arcade corner:

it is very likely;

otherwise:

it is unlikely.

Flavor text rule when the location is the Arcade corner and Norbert is in the Arcade corner and Vincent is in the Arcade corner and a random chance of 1 in 20 succeeds:

say "[one of]Norbert looks at [one of]Zork[or]Pong[or]Tetris[or]Bubble Bobble[at random] as if he would like to play, but then shakes the thought off and returns to searching the lens.[or]'You need to knock on the door to get the...' Norbert says. 'Shuddup, dweeb!' Vincent screams. 'No spoilers!'[at random]".
