    Terrific! I loved Zork. The puzzles always stumped me but in a good way. Sometimes I still dream about the grue.....

    So many wasted hours of my childhood. Sigh.

    Would do todays gamers some good to play some of these games, however, if they could handle 'em. Builds vocab and laugh all you want, an active imagination.

    I miss my Text adventures. I'm not even that old, either, just old enough that my first personal computer was a hand me down 486 laptop that ran Windows 3.1 and forced me to be creative with gaming options.

    @Komrade Kayce: "I miss my Text adventures."

    No need to. The text adventure is alive and thriving, and they are almost all freeware/donationware.

    In the above link lies enough text adventures to last a lifetime. :D

    @Komrade Kayce: If you have an Iphone there's Frotz but I'm pretty sure you can still find decent versions of ADOM, Zork and sites like Wurb help.

    Your strum bar is broken. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

    @DiRTY-8-SUPER: And what made it even better is that, they often accounted for those words so you get the computer throwing back an insult at you.


    You enter a dark room. What would you like to do?

    >F'k you

    Go f'k yourself. What would you like to do?


    Ahh, good times, good times.
