Deliver That Fulp is a text adventure game by PaperBat. It is a fantastic interpretation of the birth of Tom Fulp's child on March 25, 2009.
Design
Deliver That Fulp puts the player in the shoes of a doctor who, under the watchful eyes of Tom Fulp, has one and a half minutes to deliver April Fulp's baby. To do this, they can only type commands into a box at the bottom of the screen, in the style of early text-based adventure games. Winning is nearly impossible the first time, and the player must learn the steps one by one before hoping to achieve victory. The game also makes extensive use of Newgrounds Medals, and much of the game's challenge comes from trying to obtain all of them.

Presentation
Deliver That Fulp uses simple pixelated artwork, with only a few still images. However, these are used with comic effect, and match the sometimes surreal events of the game well. A music track called "Cruising (8-bit)" uses similarly themed music.
