I was starting up a game of Organ Trail (it's 8-bit Oregon Trail, except in modern times, in a zombie apocalypse), and I decided to name myself Evilshy and use some of you as my party members. Twiliscael was the first I thought of, because he had just mentioned me in a post. Then Chigens, because Chigens is awesome. And I couldn't include Chigens without including Kay, so I was up to 4. needed a fifth, and Zoop was the first person I thought of.

Yeah, if this game could accurately portray us all, we'd have all gotten killed soon after starting. Awesome friend team, horrible zombie apocalypse team XD

So we start in DC. 'twas a good start, plenty of everything we needed. Although, I did get wounded a few times while scavenging for supplies, and Chigens and I argued over directions for about an hour. Then...

...Chigens had to go get a fever and slow us down more. What the hell, Chigens. And guess what? Kaynah was a problem, too

Okay, I understand you probably don't have a lot of experience with map reading, but c'mon, really?

At each town, I'd look for work (usually retrieving something somebody dropped on the road and is too chicken to go back and get themselves), or holding off a hoard of zombies. It wasn't hard to keep up on supplies, although some ass did steal a bunch of our gas at one point. Probably the biker gang that ambushed us outside of town. But I totally fucked 'em all up by crashing all their bikes and stuff. Suckers.

Kaynah followed up this victory by ruining some medical supplies...

And then annoying us all...

All went well for awhile after that. We had tons of food, so much that I would frequently sell/trade it for other stuff. We were rolling cash, which I used to purchase an everlasting battery, and a super awesome air freshener. The air freshener apparently is anti fatigue, because it lessens the gradual damage everybody takes when not resting. It only works for the front seat, though, and apparently Twiliscael had ultimate dibs on shotgun, because it only ever effected him.

Also, Zoop seemed to think we had too much money, because he ruined some...

How do you even ruin $12? Damn Zoop, did you just tear it up for fun or something?

Actually, I'm thinking maybe you found some weed and used some cash to roll a joint, and then blew it all in Kaynah's face, because...

A random heard of zombie elk or deer or something antlery then chased us down a stretch of road. Strangely, them running into the car did more damage than knocking motorcycles off the road.

Also, I fought a huge zombie bear. No screenshots because I was hardcore battling the whole time.

And then something amazing happened:

I assume we all played with the kitten for awhile, because nothing bad happened. But then Scaely got bored...

We were almost to the end goal, the Safe Haven, when...

It was probably my fault this time. I honestly can't really see Chigens starting many arguments

Anyway, we got there, but had to do our part collecting some fuel for a generator. Sadly, Chigens and Twiliscael died during this, and there was extensive mourning.

I also wonder how Kaynah could survive if Chigens died, but I'm not going to question a survivor, especially not a sexy metaphysical snakepony

But yeah, the fun factor of the game was greatly magnified by imagining the characters as MLPF friends. I think I'll do this more often now, with other users as well, obviously. Any recommendations for good, shortish games that I could do like this? Preferably cheap/free ones.

I might do an FTL run or two, but IIRC you can only give your initial crew members names, not subsequent ones. Although, that shouldn't be too hard to mod, assuming it just has a list of names that it pulls randomly from.
