I recently came into the possession of this:

Picture003-2.jpg

And while I've already run it through myself, and once with my friends, it claims to have forty two different endings

So let's try to get to one of them!

I will warn you that this is not some boring sea adventure, no, it involves like aliens and Atlantis and shit

And that's just from the two runs I've done so far

So let's start:
You are an underwater explorer. You are leaving to explore the deepest oceans. You must find the lost city of Atlantis. This is your most challenging assignment.

It is morning and the sun pushes up on the horizon. The sea is calm. You climb into the narrow pilot's compartment of the underwater vessel Seeker with your special gear. The crew of the research vessel Maray screws down the hatch clamps. Now begins the plunge into the depths of the ocean. The [strike]Seeker[/strike]Maray crew begins by lowering a strong, but thin cable. Within minutes, you are so deep in the ocean that little light filters down to you. The silence is eerie as the Seeker slips deeper and deeper. You peer out the thick glass porthole and see fish drifting past, sometimes stopping to look at you- an intruder from another world.

Now the cable attaching you to Maray is extended almost to its limit. You have come to rest on a ledge near the canyon in the ocean floor that supposedly leads to the lost city of Atlantis.

You have a special sea suit that will protect you from the intense pressure of the deep if you choose to walk about on the sea bottom. You can cut loose from the cable if you wish because the Seeker is self-propelled. You are now in another world.

Do you:
A. Decide to explore the ledge where the Seeker has come to rest?
or
B. Decide to cut loose from the Maray and dive with the Seeker into the canyon in the ocean floor?

    I hope that "exploring the edge" results in being eaten by a shark because you were being too wimpy to explore the depths of the ocean in search of the fabled lost city of atlantis

    edit: we're cutting loose! away we go!

    Okay, so:
    1. We need to find Atlantis.
    2. The canyon leads to Atlantis.
    3. We need to cut loose to go into/along the canyon.
    Why is exploring some stupid ledge even an option?

    {Shitty picture of a guy going fast in a submarine}
    You radio a status report to the Maray and tell them that you are going to cast off from the line and descend under your own power. Your plan is approved and you cast off your line. Now you are on your own. The Seeker slips noiselessly into the undersea canyon.

    As you drop into the canyon, you turn on the Seeker's powerful searchlight. Straight ahead is a dark wall covered with a strange type of barnacle growth. To the left (port) side you see what appears to be a grotto. The entrance is perfectly round, as if it had been cut by human hands.

    Lantern fish give off a pale, greenish light. To the right (starboard) side of the Seeker you see bubbles rising steadily from the floor of the canyon.

    Do you:
    A. Decide to investigate the bubbles?
    or
    B. Decide to investigate the grotto with the round entrance?

    You pilot the Seeker through the rounded entrance to the grotto. Once inside, your searchlight picks up what appear to be docks and piers along the grotto walls. The Seeker's searchlight is not very powerful. However, you do have a special laser light which would light up the grotto like daylight. Unfortunately, the laser light can only be used twice for very short periods before it must be recharged about the Maray, now more than 2,000 feet above you on the surface.

    Do you:
    A. Decide to use the laser light?
    or
    B. Decide to cruise further into the grotto?
