Hooray! In honor of the Thimbleweed 13, we turned your library books into a C64 text adventure. You can play it by downloading this disk and running it in an emulator: [http://yrface.com/c64/library.d64](http://yrface.com/c64/library.d64) You can also run it in your browser with this link: [http://yrface.com/c64/](http://yrface.com/c64/) and clicking through to the emulator site. Thanks to the original authors, I hope you’re OK with this. @cvalenti, @ZakPhoenixMcKracken, @Guga, @nh_cham ---

Nice! * * * For some reason I can’t enter 0 (zero) using the online version (tried it with Chrome), it writes 2 instead (also using some numbers in the main menu brings me to different points in the story, this may be there for testing?). There seems to be a bug when choosing 1-B-B-A: It brings me to RING THE DOORBELL instead of a prompt (and letting me read the text). ---

> [@Nor\_Treblig](#): > > There seems to be a bug when choosing 1-B-B-A: Thanks, I’ll check it out when I get a chance. I was in a rush to upload that before Xmas so it’s possible I put the wrong version up. On the main menu, you can also type O or zero for Options. I did add some of the other numbers in for testing and figured it wouldn’t hurt to leave those in. 🙂 I also noticed the online version doesn’t map the C64 keyboard to a modern layout. It took me a second to remember that SHIFT-2 is the quotation mark symbol, since the one on my keyboard didn’t work. Funny how I can’t remember anyone’s names anymore, but those Commodore key commands are embedded in my brain. 😆 ---

Great, thanks! > [@yrface](#): > > It took me a second to remember that SHIFT-2 is the quotation mark symbol I’m not used to the C64 keyboard but using a German key layout this was easy for me 🙂 (actually I’m sitting in front of a Portuguese keyboard right now but the row with digits is the same). ---

I think my favourite part of that episode where they play that christian board game and Ned keeps dropping to Bart all those near impossible to pronounce hebrew name as if it were nothing.😁 ---
