This experience of playing this game is best shown, not told.
> THROW PIZZA OUT WINDOW
I only understood you as far as wanting to throw the pizza.
> THROW PIZZA OUT
What do you want to throw the pizza out of?
> WINDOW
Recognizing you can't eat it anymore, you throw the pizza out...
Oh, wait, this one is even better:
> W
Adrenaline is rushing through you as you take the step into your boss's office. There is nobody in there [etc etc etc]
You can't, since the boss's door is in the way.

And then...
> SET CLOCK TO 12PM
No, you can't set that to anything.
> SET CLOCK TO 12 PM
You set the clock to 12:00 pm.
Oh, and not only did he forget to make your mailbox fixed in place, the walkthrough accidentally picks it up with a casual TAKE ALL command halfway through.
Oh, right, I suppose I should talk about something besides implementation failures. So, the plot is that you've become invisible, and so you are out to Show Them All and otherwise wreak revenge on those who have wronged you. This involves petty larceny and vandalism. This is intentional; the hints point out that revenge-crazed mad scientists never seem to make much of themselves.
But dash it all, they usually at least try. The throwaway bonus ending where you destroy the entire solar system in response to an illogical command was better than the entire rest of the game. Not that, as you might have guessed, this really says a whole lot.
