Did you ever play The Prisoner? Where you go to the psychiatrist and he asks you all these questions, then the BASIC program crashes and prints an error message and beeps, leaving you at the "]" prompt? But it's really an AppleSoft Basic Prompt Simulation to see how you will deal with the program crashing, judging you on if you go "CONT" or "NEW" or "RUN" or "CATALOG"!

Now I'm creating adventures in Cursor with MOOLLM and working on compiling them to JavaScript to run in the browser, kind of like The Sims meets LambdaMOO meets Cursor:

Here's a marathon session playing in Cursor, and making a wish on a monkey's paw for the rest of the monkey:

Here's an interview where MOOLLM explains itself, then we go on a wild ride with the Irn Bru snowman, with underground embassy intrigue, Columbo style:
