 2378TCDD's first game, Demon Pogie, was lost to the world, but the release of Rippled Flesh made him a recognizable figure in ZZT.  His next game, Operation Chopsuey, should help establish his distinct style of games.
      At its heart, it is a parody of Andrew Plotkin's Spider and Web, programmed in Inform, the same language used to create Rippled Flesh.  Spider and Web is a cyberpunk espionage game, where the player has already accomplished his task and is replaying it for an interrogator.

In Chopsuey, the player has been captured breaking into an old Chinese fortress, and must deal with an interrogator who allows for humorous jabs at the Chinese view of America.  His accent is half the fun.
      The game has a few touches of 007 and Mission: Impossible, so it provides an inherintly new gaming experience.  Some of the humor will certainly be lost to those who have never played Web, but all in all, this game will be enjoyed by many.
