Danabis Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Used to play them on the BBC Micros ^_^ I remember playing the Wizard of Oz game on a Micro.

Necromagus Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 > Kill kobold You kill a kobold. You get two pieces of silver and a kobold tail. > Kill kobold You kill a kobold. You get three pieces of silver and an apple. > What, no tail? 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.

Pete_the_Viscous Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardovilian Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepiroth23 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
