You’re Trapped in a ’90s Video Game

You are a game tester, the sickest gig on the planet. Can you believe there’s a job where you get to play video games… for a living?! There’s no way a job replaying the same game over and over again to encounter minor errors and document them in detail for little pay could ever be anything but DA BOMB. 

It’s after hours at the game studio. You sit on a leather couch in front of a state-of-the-art 500 lb TV. The slick black game controller rumbles in your hands, immersing you in the on-screen action of Radical Rabbit’s Environmental Trivia Challenge. All your fellow testers went home – something about a freak lightning whatever – but you wanna go one-on-one with Radical Rabbit, because the rainforest is frickin’ phat.

KA-ZAP! A burst of lightning strikes the office! Your TV sparks and glows, transforming into a swirling vortex. This is no ordinary bug. No FAQ can help you now. In a matter of moments, you’re sucked into the portal, into a world of video games. The portal closes with a rude buuuuuurp.

Find < 3 Golden Keys > to return home. You have < 3 Lives > or it’s game over.
