Text adventures~

Who here played/plays text adventures? Like, that sorta game where you type in commands and then stuff happens?

My favorite 2 are Colossal Cave and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (I can do the entire HHGG game without reading a single word too I've played it so much ><)

I used to play them when I had one or two on the Amstrad, a fair few years ago... But I never remember the names!

I miss my Amstrad

EDIT :: nearly 20 years isn't a few, bird... Be clearer haha!

T 3T maaaannn... now I feel even older xDDD

I've only played one, Zork, CoD got me into it and I keep having a go at it, it's fun :3

I've never played Zork... I totally need to!!

Yeah, Colossal Cave is fun... I named my cat from it: Xyzzy xDD

I love text adventures bc they let you use your imagination to give the game life... its fuuuuun~

In Zork, I started at a house and found a troll underground, and then I got to a big dam :/

In Coloassal Cave you start out next to a mill house, and you have to follow a gully down to the cave... there are secret passageways and dwarves that throw axes, and magical words in rooms (Xyzzy, Plugh, and Plover) :3

In HHGG, you start out in bed, its dark, and you go from there.. you really have to have some background knowledge of the series, tho, in order to figure out that you have to "lie down" or assemble the improbablilty drive :3

Cool :3
