The Cavern of the Evil Wizard

Posted by BoMToons - October 19th, 2009


I've always loved the movie "Big" with Tom Hanks.

I watched it again the other day and remembered there are some scenes with the little kid playing an old CGA text adventure.

I searched around to find out what game it was and discovered that it doesn't exist, they just made it up for the movie.

So, I took a few hours and made the game myself.

Check it out here and digg it if you can:

I'll upload it to NG later this week.

If you remember, it was playing this game that ultimately reminded the grown up Tom Hanks of the joys of childhood and began his journey back to being a kid. The power of VIDEO GAMES to incite nostalgia.

Cool game.

Also, the movie Big was hardcore...<3 Tom Hanks

And by game i mean weird movie thing...

I hope you found the link to the game.

this is awesome...
I remember watching that movie all the time when I was younger

How did he beat this... hmmmmm.

Never actually saw the movie, so the effect of this game was kind of wasted upon me.

At least now I know I should probably go watch Big.

it's still fun to play

Im frozen for several million years

you might thaw

Man why did it take this long for that to finally happen? Awesome!

ONE THING: When you enter a command and it says it doesn't understand what it wants you to do, that text isn't in pixel font. MUST ADDRESS THIS URGENT ISSUE.

Oh crap, I'm glad someone finally told me. That's what I get for only testing on my comp.

Should be fixed now.

spot on. did you add any secrets besides the main story?

Mostly just snide remarks to random things you might type. Like try "Big" or "Tom Hanks" or "This sucks" or a swear word or "Flee"

Genius! I now pronounce you king of the interwebs! :D

AWKWARDLY FEEL WOMANS TITS

YOU WIN

omg really! I remember watching this when I was just a little kid. Seven I think. I thought to myself, that game looks badass, I wish I could play it. Now I can! Thanks for making my dreams come true man.
