When I first got a Commodore a decade or so ago, the first thing I did was hunt down the Infocom stuff. I played them but I cheated like a mother fucker, liked them, don't have the patience/time to really devote to them.

I read those as well. I have Fighting Fantasy boxset. ^^Quote:

I used to love Enchanter and Sorcerer and my cousin and I spent a lot of time playing a Vic 20 cassette game called Pirate's Cove.
Of course I also spent plenty of time playing Zork.
Fun stuff. I should give them another shot.
Text adventures aren't really my thing, but I'm more into ARPGs (Ys, etc). Right now, I've almost got Ys Book I & II completed. Good times.
Me too. I find they tend to be more accessible than a lot of the classics, too, mostly due to shorter lengths. Older, commercial IF also had a tendency to extend play time by having super difficult puzzles.Quote:

I hate those Choose Your Own Adventure books, because I always get into an infinite loop.
I used to play a ton of these on my Commodore computers growing up. I had almost all of the "Scott Adams Adventure Series" games for the Vic-20, and later several of the Infocom games on the 64.
I never really got to experience Zork in all it's greatness until years later when I bought a collection for Windows 95. Good stuff.
I would recommend the stuff from Legend Entertainment. You don't even need to type, just point and click on the words or on the visuals.
