March 8, 200620 yr If so this reminds us how far we have come (and hopefully will give you a bit of a giggle) http://www.wired.com/news/columns/0,70348-0.html Why is 'common sense' so named, when there is so little of it about?Welcome to puberty, we've been expecting you.
March 8, 200620 yr I don't remember text adventures specifically, but I do remember the original Quest for Glory and all of the King's Quest games. Everybody lovin' it, but ain't no body touchin' it
March 8, 200620 yr Used to play them on the BBC Micros ^_^ Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

March 8, 200620 yr Used to play them on the BBC Micros ^_^ I remember playing the Wizard of Oz game on a Micro. It always used to end up the same, I'd try and use the banana on the lion and he'd eat me. Dreaming of that face againIt's bright, and blue, and shimmeringGrinning wideAnd comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes

Apparently this was the rare but majestic Manx kobold. > You said they had tails You hear a voice in the distance. "LF1M just need any healer ready to go!" > Kill three kobolds You kill three kobolds. You get eight pieces of silver and four tails. > Four tails? Maybe it's something in the water around here.That bit had me laughing ^_^ My Tip.It Times Articles (10 and counting) || The Varrock Library Author Index projectDo you dare to dream? - Part 19 added. || The Hospital (WIP) - New story!Necromagus looks like a viking ... with glasses.
March 8, 200620 yr Watch out for the Grue! (couldn't resist :P) I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
March 8, 200620 yr I would play them, but that would involve me just sitting there and wondering why on earth I can't get ye flask. Only one really springs to mind... something like "the adventures of... eric? the undready".... or similar. deviantart account
March 8, 200620 yr Yeah Eric the Unready it was. It wasn't entirely textual, it did have the odd static graphic just to set the scene. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
March 9, 200620 yr Watch out for the Grue! (couldn't resist :P)mmmm, Zork-ness :D I head a heap of console games floating around, quite fun to play sometimes :P
March 9, 200620 yr Author Ahh yes, the days when 'the buzz' was all about Infocom's advanced parser. "You mean I can type 'Walk west, take the knife, attack the goblin' - all at once????" Why is 'common sense' so named, when there is so little of it about?Welcome to puberty, we've been expecting you.
March 9, 200620 yr I played this one game, called Hugo or something :P You had to get into this mansion and do something... I never got too far. I remember to get into the mansion it was like: >Walk up steps You walk up the steps >Kick Pumpkin You kick the pumpkin and get a key >Open door The door is locked >Use key on door You use the key on the door, it is no unlocked >Open door You open the door and go inside :lol: Yeah, I never got too far, as I said.... :P

March 10, 200620 yr There are 3 Hugo's I believe. A jungle one Some mansion / town one some "spooky" house or whatever. I got them on a cd of games somewhere :P
March 10, 200620 yr Not sure if anyone remembers the original Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy game but it was probably one of the hardest text games i came across, probably due to the randomness of Douglas Adams
March 10, 200620 yr Not sure if anyone remembers the original Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy game but it was probably one of the hardest text games i came across, probably due to the randomness of Douglas Adams Heh, I played that on the BBC site, but I always got stuck at that bugblatter of traal part (sp?)
