Uninteractive Fiction by Leah Thargic

In the 1996 PC game Monty Python & the Quest for the Holy Grail, the initial main menu offers three choices: “Collect the Grail”, “See the Film”, and “Register Now”. Only the third of these options takes you to the game proper – after having you fill in a series of increasingly absurd questions, of course. Clicking “Collect the Grail”, on the other hand, has you immediately collect the grail. Congratulations! You won!

Since it involves winning rather than losing, this experience is highly recommended over playing Uninteractive Fiction. On the other hand, Uninteractive Fiction runs in a modern browser and requires no intricate DOSBox setup. It’s up to you whether you prefer convenience or victory.
