The game is a parody of how some people feel. Your beloved Plus/4, TED, is being taken over by the evil AI. It's like Marmite: you love it or hate it. You must save TED if you can. Is this the end for TED, and the AI wins? Only you can save him.

It is also a feature test of the ALF Creator: second nouns, things that happen every few turns, a travelling mobile library, names that change, and room text that changes after your first visit. Bugs and ideas: 8bitsquad.co.uk/feedback.
