Text Adventures

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

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.

Does reading "Choose Your Own Adventure" books as a kid count?

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

I haven't played one in many years.

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.

I always make a point to play the IFComp entries.

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.

I can't play them anymore. I suppose a list of the best ones would be nice...I'd give one a shot again

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.
