Cannons in Interactive Fiction

• 

  Arborea (2022)

  > x cannon (@ Pirate Ship)

  The first recognisable weapon of mass destruction [if fuse untaken], the cannon does not appear to be loaded though there is a fuse sticking out of the top [end if].

• 

  Brain Guzzlers from Beyond! (2015)

  > x RPG cannon (@ Hall of Amazing Advances)

  A sleek, futuristic gun with three brass barrels. It's bulky and looks powerful, but it's light enough to hold in one hand. There's a dial you can turn on the side under a display. Currently the display is showing an image of a hand [one of] with the index and middle fingers extended, like a sideways peace sign. [or] curled into a fist. [or] with the palm and all five fingers lying flat, like a fascist salute.

  The Crescent City at the Edge of Disaster (2001)

  > x cannon (@ Moonwalk)

  Once some kind of memorial piece, now again pressed into active service -- at least as long as the cannonballs hold out.

• Everybody Loves a Parade (1997)

  > x cannon (@ Laundromat)

  Let's hope the military has dropped its heat-seeking hamster project.

• 

  The Ghost Ship (2015)

  > x cannons (@ Gun Room)

  They are large, black, metal cannons encased in solid oak wood. They look devestating up close.

• 

  Hollywood Hijinx (1986)

  > examine cannon (@ Cannon Emplacement)

  It's a replica Civil War cannon pointing out to sea. [if fuse unused] There is a fuse sticking up from the cannon. One of the cannon's wheels is on top of a small compartment. [end if] The cannon was used in Uncle Buddy's production of "Dracula Meets the Confederacy." Uncle Buddy said he always kept it loaded in case those big Hollywood studio types came around.

• 

  Krakatoa Tuna Melt (2002)

  > x cannon (@ Village)

  The heavy iron cannon is a relic from history, once used to repel pirates from Krakatoa's shores. Its muzzle points up and east over the ocean, but it's not empty. There's a bamboo structure inside it.

• Pen and Paint (2010)

  > x cannon (@ Airship Rock)

  You've wanted one for a long time. They fire small objects with great force, thanks to the simple power of a spring. (To use the cannon, try "FIRE something".)

  Before the airship leaves, "cannon" is a synonym for the airship.

• Phlegm (1996)

  > x cannon (@ Town Square)

  One of those old-style cannons, aimed directly at the tree; it has apparently been made after hours of painstaking research. For those unfamiliar with late 4th century Zilodaxian technology: a projectile and gunpowder go in the cannon, and the fuse is lit.
