I knew coming into this I was going to end up playing a lot of text adventures, and how much time I was prepared to spend playing them "properly" was going to be an issue. I still have to work out how I'm going to tackle the massive wodge of Infocom releases I've got coming up - I may just have to cover them all in one post to get it out of the way.<br /><br />There is still a thriving text adventure scene believe it or now, except they generally call it "interactive fiction" now. It's sort of continued to exist as a purely non-commercial thing, once publishers lost interest in putting out games without graphics in them.<br /><br />I recommend checking out Adam Cadre's stuff, he's done some very interesting things with the format, most notably "Photopia". The genre's come a long way since the "AN ELF APPEARS AND STEALS YOUR FOOD" type games of old.<br />Phil Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230104426323567662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433803586750909196.post-8058618102956493732013-06-15T20:31:56.770+01:002013-06-15T20:31:56.770+01:00Haha!

I always hit and wall and find myself thinking of a million things I'd rather be doing. If only text adventures had remained in vogue. Imagine the sophisticated parsers available after a further twenty years of development!<br /><br />>> Tell Eldomir that he is a massive bell-end.StickHeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14222186359760273096noreply@blogger.com
