TROGBlog - Nort

[RSS Bot]

If I had infinite free time, I would write the game Nort.

 

In Nort, you play a computer program, trying to survive deep in the bowels of the Vista Operating System. The game would consist of 4 phases:

 

Phase one: DRM

Due to an errant MD5 checksum calculation, Vista's DRM has incorrectly matched your program file with "Britney_Spears_-_Baby_One_More_Time.mp3". Your program file is now targeted for deletion. Use your tank process to destroy the DRM subprocesses and escape.

 

Phase two: Windows Defender

Windows Defender has misidentified your program as an ActiveX virus. Your program has been targeted for quarantine and deletion. You must use your vector cycle process to out maneuver the Defender subprocesses attempting to quarantine you.

 

Phase three: Rootkit

A Sony Rootkit has installed itself on the system's boot sector. It has determined that your program was installed by a competitor, and has targeted your program file for deletion. You must escape to the safety of the L2 Cache before the rootkit's self-replicating code consumes you.

 

Phase four: Out of Memory

The Kernel has locked up, and is now consuming memory at an alarming rate. A thrashing swap file is threatening to overwrite your program. You must blast through the incoming write packets and seize control of the Kernel to prevent total system failure.
