A Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Text Adventure, released by Infocom in 1983.The story is set on Contra, a human-settled planet in the distant future. Civilization’s higher functions are tended to by three Filtering Computers, which control the weather, food production, and the transportation system correspondingly. These computers are monitored by the Central Mentality, a random guy who won a lottery and has been turned into a Human Popsicle while his brain runs everything. The ideal is for the CM to stay in such a state for five hundred years, at which point they’ll be revived and replaced with the next one.Of course, this is where things go wrong.The current CM is suddenly woken by a series of error messages. An earthquake has damaged all three Filtering Computers, causing chaos and death on the surface. The guys that put him in there had no backup plans in case of such a catastrophic failure, leaving the CM to try and fix all three before too much damage occurs. Unfortunately, because he’s still in a tube, he has to mentally control six robots in the facility, each of whom has a very specific function. Even worse, a previous CM (Gregory Franklin) went insane and tried to destroy the planet, meaning the public has very little tolerance for this kind of situation. If the death toll gets too high, they’ll be coming down to fix the problem themselves... by shutting you down.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Failsafe Failure | |
| Suspended / Videogame / int_1d3c92da | comment |
Failsafe Failure: The small informational booklet constantly mentions that nothing can possibly go wrong and, as such, leaves no real directions behind in case of a failure (and the ones they DO give are either Blatant Lies or filled with half-truths). The problem is, you ARE the Failsafe, and when you wake up, you have no directions, your robots are in terrible shape, and the REAL damage has just barely begun. In particular, they never bothered to fix the incredibly helpful multitasking Fred robot and neither can you. | |

And I Must Scream | |
| Suspended / Videogame / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: "A Cryogenic Nightmare" indeed. You can't see or move. You have six robots that between them almost make up one complete, functional human. And no way to communicate with the technicians coming to disconnect you. | |
