Pick Up The Phone Booth And Die 2

Miscellaneous Topics
#1

Okay, I’m getting really frustrated here. I’m trying to play this really simple text adventure, and I’m stuck. It’s called “Pick Up The Phone Booth And Die 2”, and is found here:

I just can’t work out what to do! It either fails to recognise my input, calls me “too violent” or just kills me. Any hints appreciated!

You might want to play through the original first, just to get the basic idea:

I think the 2nd one is a demo and not a full version. You can go N, S, E, W in the 2nd one, but sometimes you try to move and it says something like you can do that if it was a full version and not a demo.

Heh, I sussed it in the end. I hadn’t noticed the howitzer in the North square, which turned out to be the key. Actually I hadn’t realised it was more than a one room game… ;D

Good fun, and a simple solution. Well worth the time I invested in it!

Now you got me curious. I found the screwdriver, moved the Howitzer around, turned on the water fountain but…???

Hmm, I hadn’t found the water fountain… ;D

Take a closer look at the howitzer’s base…

Still can’t work out how to turn the fountain on. I’ll keep trying. Found anything to do with the tree?

The sword was pretty cool! ;D

To turn on the fountain, steal the cow’s food…:slight_smile: I’ll check out the Howitzer. Haven’t done a thing with the tree. I imagine maybe you can water it or something?

I’ve always been a rebel. I picked up the phone booth and died 2.

Gha! Finally turned the water on. I’d completely missed that room.

Managed to kill the cow, too… ;D
