Hey, remember text adventures?

KapitänTim

I sure do. I had tons of fun playing them. I liked Planetfall and the Zork series. What did you guys play?

Sail

Nope.

I didn't spend much time playing single player text adventures back in the day. Mostly MUDs. All my text adventuring is more recent, and mostly for research purposes. That is except for...

ACTION CASTLE

Sail

Oh, the Homestar Runner text adventures are pretty great.

My first text adventure was "Leather Goddesses of Phobos". I later played Nethack and eventually got the Amulet of Yendor and offered it to my god.

Rym

Moonmist was mine.

Eryn

Agreed on the Homestar ones. Those are surprisingly good.

One of my other favourites is still Hamlet: The Text Adventure.

My first one was Zork. I recently had a whole day to kill at work and played through the whole thing with an FAQ. The game is damn hard.

I used to play a bunch on the Commodore 64, but I've forgotten ALL of their names. One was about Dracula's Castle and another was about Adventureland. Wish I could remember.

I teach English here and I really want to use Action Castle in a University class. I may have to do it soon!

The Homestar Runner one was actually the first text adventure I played. Yes, I'll get off your lawns now.

Hey, they're still around! Also, there's an app for that. And on OSX, Spatterlight is a really good client.

I play some humorous IF games every once in a while. Chinese Room is a good one.

Coldguy

Anyone in the mood for Pac-Txt.

Starfox

This was really fun. Takes ~3 minutes.
