- Welcome to Modern Problems.
-
- ~c1~Modern Problems~c15~ is a collection of many puzzles designed to
- provide you with many hours of gaming pleasure. It is not an
- adventure game. In fact, we like to think of it as the original
- anti-adventure game. No hidden tricks, everything is fair. All
- actions as well as reactions are observable.
-
- Your job is to figure out what to do to solve each level and
- then go ahead and solve it.
-
- We designed these notes and instructions to be read a page
- at a time. Because half your job is figuring out how to solve
- each puzzle, reading instructions can take the fun out of the
- game. If you get stuck, you can always return later to read
- some more, but we suggest you try the game first.
