Ok, this is the stupidest thing you’ll play this year. And I bet all of Kieron’s money that you play it through at least seven times.

A common screen

Which-Way Adventure is a Flash-drawn choose-your-own-adventure where the choice between jumping down a manhole or crawling through a fence can be the difference between becoming trapped in 1908 as a shoe cobbler’s apprentice, or seeing a lady acrobat with her top off before being eaten by a Manticore. Perhaps you’ll destroy capitalism, or maybe you’ll become a hobo, riding the trains, before being eaten by a Manticore. There’s a fairly strong chance you’ll be eaten by a Manticore.

It’s ages old, so snooty netsnobs will sneer, but I, like you, hadn’t seen it before. And our lives are more enriched.

    Any game where you randomly cause a nuclear war is a winner in my book.

  3. David says:

    Gosh that Manticore is quite a surprise eh?
    Now if only I could escape from Boston in 1908 without pressing F5…

  4. Newblade says:

    I’ve made Shakespeare suffer. That will teach him.

  5. roBurky says:

    Arf! After the first few tries ending in many repeated manticore maulings, I was very pleasedwhen I got a sequence that kept appearing to end, and then continuing.

    Mm, brains.

  6. FaceOmeter says:

    damn manticore…

  7. Willem says:

    You have been eaten by a grue?

  8. Pesh says:

    I managed to get eaten by a harpy, a shadowy figure, a zombie, a giant spider, and, of course, a manticore.

    But I was sorely disappointed when the manticore interrupted the mom sequence. :(

  9. Iain says:

    I destroyed Capitalism and got corn bread! A Winner Is I!

    I waited for Hitler to come back with my time-machine, but he didn’t. )=
