Join us as we attempt to play an old text adventure named Alien Version 2B from 1982 together LIVE. Will this be a disaster? Will we be drunk? See for yourself and enjoy watching our infighting!

We're now on the hunt for the game's anonymous creator, because we really had a blast playing their game and would like to thank them. Please let us know in the comments if you can give us any clues as to their identity.

You can find the original 1982 version we played at the Interactive Fiction Archive located here: http://www.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXgamesXsourceXbasic.html

The plot thickens, however. Further investigation led us to a post-1995 revamp of the game, packed with references to Power Rangers, Jumanji, and other 90s ephemera. In that version, Alex Fernandez appears as the default character name and may be the person responsible for the revamp. That version can be found at http://www.eddiesegoura.com/Games/ALIEN.BAS
