HAhahaha! Your program crashed?! What a weird mix of pride and embarrasment that must've been! I can feel it in my bones.

It wasn't even so much a crash as a "ran out of program". The code was pretty simplistic and was basically "player selects option 1, goto line 10, option 2, goto line 20." They selected option 2 and there was no line 20. That's simplifying a bit, but that's basically what happened.
