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.

Zachary 2009-10-19 23:26:32

And by game i mean weird movie thing...

BoMToons 2009-10-19 23:26:32

I hope you found the link to the game.

K0Nx 2009-10-19 23:26:52

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

Perry 2009-10-19 23:32:15

How did he beat this... hmmmmm.

KillerDraco 2009-10-19 23:42:49

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.

BoMToons 2009-10-19 23:42:49

it's still fun to play

Gonzossm 2009-10-19 23:43:00

Im frozen for several million years

BoMToons 2009-10-19 23:43:00

you might thaw

TomFulp 2009-10-19 23:59:14

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.

BoMToons 2009-10-19 23:59:14

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

Should be fixed now.

Starogre 2009-10-20 00:11:28

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

BoMToons 2009-10-20 00:11:28 (Updated 2009-10-20 00:19:12)

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"

TheBoogley 2009-10-20 01:08:48

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