www.hardcoregaming101.net/tasstimes/tasstimes.htmFrom the Guide to Classic Graphic Adventures, now finally published on the site. This proto point-and-click adventure designed by Infocom alumnus Michael Berlyn takes you to a weird world where a dog is a newspaper reporter, everyone dresses in garish 80s new wave clothing, and a sinister real estate tycoon/monstrous animal hybrid is slowly terrorizing the town by setting up uncool housing developments.

Oh wow, so it was a 1980s game about 2010s Portland, Oregon?

A little confusing redundancy here:
"[...] leaving just the text and parser and leaving you playing blind. Since the text descriptions are contain unessential information, this leaves you playing blind."

Looks like this was not in the book and added (or reinserted) later. I've tried to clear it up a bit.

I can't tell if that's a computer game or a Stefon club description.

Ah, neato. Reminds me, IIRC Burger Becky briefly mused on her involvement with the game in an Apple IIgs-focused episode of her (sadly short-lived) livestream.

That dog kinda looks like the Luckdragon from The Neverending Story.
