Ah, the text parser. Long before the mouse was used as the primary tool for the adventure gamer, we primitive cavemen had only the keyboard and our wits to guide us. Zork, King's Quest, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Leisure Suit Larry, Spellcasting 101... Looking back, the modern day point-and-clicker is just spoiled rotten.
Realizing this, YukaTakeuchiFan takes us down memory lane by replaying Quest for Glory 2 and forces us to watch his pathetic attempts to get the text parser to understand what he wants it to do.
Behold!
Quest for Glory2: Fun with Text Parsers!

True. And you'll get a cookie if you can name the game that my avatar came from.

EDIT: I prefer to be called "Silv".
Sorry, I was in a hurry for some reason.

I'll give you guys a hint.
It's from an adventure game from the mid-90's that was recently re-released.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
They actually did good adventure games in the mid-nineties?
Corsair, Maniac Mansion was made at the end of the eighties
