A Long and Sad Wonderland Tale

I make no secret about the fact that I am a huge Alice in Wonderland fan. I run the fanlisting for the Queen of Hearts, and over at my TCG trading post for So Magical I am currently collecting all the Alice in Wonderland-related decks. So imagine my excitement when I discovered Alice in Wonderland: An Interactive Adventure!

The majority of the games available on the site are simple Javascript games such as Memory, Tic Tac Toe, Wordsearch, etc. They are all Alice in Wonderland-themed though, which makes for a nice touch, and the names used for each game are Wonderland-themed (Curiouser and Curiouser, Pool of Tears, and Paint the Roses Red, for instance). Since the games themselves aren’t unique, I don’t really see myself returning to Alice in Wonderland: An Interactive Adventure, but I did want to share what I wrote after playing A Long and Sad Tale, which is rather similar to the post generator for lazy bloggers.

There was once a beamish boy named Walter, whose best friend was a mock tutle named Xenophanes. Xenophanes came from through the looking glass where all the doors were green with mold, and everyone ate frog legs and horseradish. When Xenophanes was all alone, he liked to bathe with his chest set. When he was with his friends, he liked to cook a pot of soup. Xenophanes was terribly weird.

One c-c-c-old day, Xenophanes was very itchy and thought he was sinking in quicksand, so he put all of his eggs into a clothes hamper. He looked high and low for his friends. It turned out, however, that they were robbing a bank. Imagine how hysterical he was! Sometimes days are not what they seem.

The end.

A long and sad tale indeed! Now I want to reread Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass…
