Everyone’s favourite Early Modern English poet has an online presence! Chaucer (or his ghost-writer – oops pardon the pun) writes about 21st century things in a clearly 16th century idiom.
There are several ‘classics’ which are notable for their ‘witte’. My favourite is The Cipher of Leonardo, all in verse!

The Morning News’ IKEA game walkthrough
An excerpt, for the “Marketplace” level:
Your goal in this world is to locate the five components of the DREAM BEDROOM ENSEMBLE (DBE): MALM white-lacquered queen bed frame, KILAN RAND full/queen 100% cotton quilt cover set, CORRAS bedside table (with casters and one adjustable shelf), HOPEN three-drawer chest, and PAX/BREVIK wardrobe with white-foil finish.
This world is filled with NON-PLAYER CHARACTERS (NPCs), and many will give you important clues if you interact with them. To “talk” with an NPC, stand in front of one as it tries to browse and wait for it to address you directly. If it tries to move around you, simply reposition yourself between it and its desired merchandise. If it refuses to acknowledge you, try cuffing it sharply on the side of the head and saying, “Hey! Hey buddy!”
