In Jim Munroe's text adventure game Punk Points, released in 2000, you play an aspiring punk rocker on the first day of high school. I enjoyed but never completed it; when the game popped into my head yesterday, I decided to try again. I'm still getting stuck at the same place, in the detention hall where I end up losing all my points and dying. Gonna give it another go later tonight!
