Uhh, what are you using as a parser... currently I have 'bout 20 words fully in, (meaning that they fully interact as they should). And even then the EXE is still around 120kb. I have a rudementary program with DBP and that loads images, sound, music, animation and that is still around 1.5mb...
Something is wrong there... so I am gonna say this, you are only allowed to use 2D images and they do not help your score what-so-ever.
@Others, I still don't see what is wrong with stats, or combat.
Stats are apart of many... things... besides, Matt Rock said

Weapons act as stats, and you need stats for 'bash and mash' combat.
BTW, Text Parsers are easy... can we get additional points for the complexity and functionality of our parses?
@SunFlash... of course I am! This sounds like a rather nice challange and I don't have to deal with media (i hate media
)

I believe society is flawed; our notions on life, on child rearing, stem too far back to be of relevance in this day and time.
