So it's time to take a break from being serious or advertising my brother. I'd like to take some time to talk about the joys of my life.
Recently my brother started posting a blog. Like I mentioned then, he is the funniest person I know. Makes me laugh like nobody else to ever exist ever. Ever. He is the only person in the known universe that can make me laugh by pointing out a flaw or insecurity of mine.The only. I have had boyfriends in the past notice this about my relationship with my brother and attempt to replicate it. This, of course, ends in a premature termination of our relationship because I don't take that crap from no one. Except my brother. But he does it with nothing but love and humour, and I know he does it with love but when someone else does it it stings.
Anyways, we've been being ridiculous in his comments section in the style of a text based adventure game. It made me realize that more than anything I go through cycles of loving these types of games. I find them to be the best thing ever and then eventually forget about them and lose interest. It's possibly because I don't have much experience with good genuine text based adventure games. My experience is literally limited to the 3 you can find in the games section of the website HomestarRunner.com. They are as follows;

Dungeon Man which is quite literally over before you even get into it.
Peasant Quest which is a combination text and graphic game.

Dungeon Man 3 which completely discards the reality that you should have a 2nd to a game before a 3rd.
I'm very interested in finding other actual text based games, but really wouldn't know where to start. Can anyone help me with this?

Depends on the style of text based game you like. I MUCK pretty frequently, which is sort of like mIRC-with-rooms-meets-roleplay. Good if you like the tabletop sort of gaming, or writing dialogue.
ReplyDeleteI'm maybe slightly too young to really remember good text-based games (or more likely I was a console gamer at the time) but here are some suggestions with varying levels of text-basedness:
ReplyDeleteZork
King's Quest (the whole series)
Maniac Mansion
Day of the Tentacle
Oregon Trail
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
There's a Hitchhiker's Guide text based game that was written by Douglas Adams himself. I'm just sayin' is all...
ReplyDeleteO_________O You are the best person in my world right now, Clever! I must have this! MUST HAVE!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool relationship. That's my relationship with my boyfriend. :-)
