Five Weeks in a Balloon

A parser interactive-fiction adaptation of Jules Verne's Five Weeks in a Balloon (1863), which is in the public domain. You are Dr. Samuel Ferguson, crossing Africa from Zanzibar to the Senegal in the Victoria — a balloon that rises by warming her own hydrogen instead of throwing away gas and ballast. The apparatus drinks water, and so do the three men in the car. Twenty places in five regions, eight balloon verbs, nine objectives and 150 points.
