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-28190343125890538162013-06-18T10:21:07.241+01:002013-06-18T10:21:07.241+01:00Yeah, those are the games I was talking about. The...Yeah, those are the games I was talking about. The dates seems to be accurate as far as Infocom's publicity material of the time goes, so I'm going to stick with that unless I find something that suggests otherwise.<br /><br />As I've said, sites like Atarimania are useful as a starting point, but there's a lot of wrong information which gets included without being questioned. One good thing I'm hoping comes out of this silly project is that it ends up with a timeline of releases that's a little more accurate than the ones available at the moment.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.

Most appreciated. :D<br /><br />I remember reading on atari-forum.com that you thought there were some discrepancies regarding Infocom release dates. Are these the games you were talking about? Or is this information correct to the best of your knowledge?<br /><br />I assume you have seen the database site at Atarimania... That may be of use here...StickHeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14222186359760273096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433803586750909196.post-15195409591294104552013-04-27T18:00:50.453+01:002013-04-27T18:00:50.453+01:00How many games is that, approximately?
