The reduced parser was generally ok to cope with. Apart from one big exception, which constantly caught me out. GET X doesn’t work - you have to type TAKE X. As a very long-term GET X typer this was a toughie for me!

Right??? This happened to me too!

@jjmcc

By FAR the most repeated sequence of the game was:

1. >GET [something]
2. %@#$($#
3. >TAKE [something]

Good news (for those that follow)! The author has since added the GET command!
