Thread: Text based game problems

I've just started C++ a while ago. I do have a background in Basic, but these two are nothing alike. The problem I have is with this Text based game. When it gets to the smiliy face, the window shuts off, and nothing happens. I'm sure it's just a simple problem but I can't find it. Please help if you can.

And if anyone knows how to use the Goto/Label function, please tell me!

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main()              // This is the beginning, and choose species.
{
    char species[5];
    int age;
    char name[25];
    char backpack[100];
    
    
    cout<<" Greetings, friend, and Welcome, to...\n";
    cin.get();
    cout<<"    The Lord of The Rings RPG (V1.0)\n";
    cout<<" You will be playing the part of one of the many species\n";
    cout<<" of Middle Earth, on an epic quest to save the world, and\n";
    cout<<" destroy the one ring. To begin, please choose your species...\n";
    cin.get();
    cout<<" \n";
    cout<<" A balanced Human.\n";
    cout<<" A powerful fierce, yet short Dwarf.\n";
    cout<<" A stealthy, dead eye Elf.\n";
    cin.getline ( species, 5);
    cin.ignore();
    
    if ( strcmp (species, "Human") == 0){
       cout<<" Human.\n";
}      
    else if (strcmp (species, "Dwarf") == 0){
       cout<<" Dwarf.\n";
}       
    else if (strcmp (species, "Elf") == 0){
       cout<<" Elf.\n";
}      
    else {
       cout<<"Restart, and choose a real species!\n";
}         
                 
    cout<<" What is your name(under 25 letters)?\n"; //This is the name.
    cin.getline ( name, 25);
    
cin.get();
    cout<<" And last, what is your age?\n";  //This is the age.
    cin>> age;
   
    cout<<" Wow, a "<<age<<" year old "<<species<< " named "<<name<<". Now I've\n";
    
    cout<<" Seen everything! Anyway...\n";
    cout<<" \n";            
    cout<<" You begin your quest, in your small village. You have little armour,\n";
    cout<<" except for the clothes on you back, and your sword is of crappy wood.\n";
    cin.get();
