I do not understand the word "understand"
Nov. 10th, 2015 07:53 pmI seem to have a text adventure called "Softporn adventure" (I think it was free with Leisure Suit Larry, and I was curious). Never have played it.
I do sometimes have a hankering for text adventures. They're obsolete now, of course. Point and click adventures offer the same type of lateral thinking, but are much more accessible and text only games feel kinda cheap. I remember Seabase Delta on the C64. One of the Mastertronic 199 games that made up so much of my collection. It had some fun little pun-clues - things like "Making Mirrors by I Ron Foil" telling you to iron a sheet of foil to make a mirror.
With those memories in mind I dug out some of the old Magnetic Scrolls games and a Z-machine interpreter.
My gog these games are hard!
Maybe I should attack the huge pile of Point-and-click games that I have as a result of my addiction gog.com. They're a bit easier.
