This is my third post about Crystal Caverns, the text adventure from Dan Kitchen (of Activision fame).
The game now lurches close to the end, but I wanted to write a post about a particularly horrendous moment of parser confusion.

@jdyer I love text adventures, but one thing I don't miss about old text adventures is fighting with the text parser to find the right phrase.
