Well, it's a good start. I know you had some more immersive ideas, but you've laid down the skeleton and some substantial meat, and it will be great to build upon.
I definitely hear music over this (Blue Oyster Bar theme?), perhaps a more atmospheric image or three (a bar oughtn't be cafeteria bright), and the possibility of making some decisions. But the hints are sound and it's very good platform for expansion.

extra terrestrial intelligence would seem appropriate.

Rowdy tune. It all depends on what kind of bar one wants it to be. I go for the dimly lit, moodier ones. I like me some
Cooder.

Hello
i have found two "imperfections"
-- the text, that begins with "Young frog to older couple: 'So, Uncle Ferdie, tell me about Rock Hermits!"
is much to long for my screen ( 1920 x 1080 ) -> the last lines ( and [enter space] ) are missing
-- maybe to many linefeeds?
-- the background picture is much too bright
its very difficult to read the (bright) yellow text
--> i have inserted another one, but ....

I think he means he's either going to fix it or destroy it.

Version 0.0.0.0.0.0.93 is now out!
Featuring tricolour trialogues (thanks to Phkb (mighty master of mysterous matters involving unending equalization) & Slartibartfast), a rapid return to the F4 screen (thanks to Montana05 & Phkb) and a butchered batrachian confabulation (thanks to Slartibartfast).
