VariTale

VariTale is an early BBS door implementation of Choose-Your-Own-Adventure
hypertext, allowing users to read through and extend up to three stories per
installation (15 in the registered version!) via an oldschool command-line
interface. Unconventionally, the author of a given chapter is not given the
option of dictating which options follow their passage: that choice is given
instead to the writers of the future chapters.

Comes bundled with two sample adventures, The Secret of the Broken Sword and
Space Terror! The latter is more nominal than the former, but both exhibit
the vaguely cheeky insouciance that characterises Pinnacle’s humorous writing.
