Who here likes old (or new) text only games, a.k.a. Interactive Fiction?

Some were tedious...but the good ones were fun.

Zork!

Yes, they were a lot of fun way back in the day.....what ever happened to the likes of "Day of the Tentacle" or "Sam and Max : Hit the road" the graphic adventures and the text adventures of the good old days....where humor reigned supreme....

I liked muds, but i thought stuff like Zork was gay ... no interactivity.

Zork, Planetfall, and Suspended all hold special memories for me.
There was another that was cool, SpellBreaker I think ???

I played a game called GeneForge in December. It has simple graphics and a lot of reading. Not exactly the same, but the stories are deep and involving.

Spiderweb Software is already making a Geneforge 2.

The Exile/Avernum/Nethergate series are also fun to play.

I thought text adventures were fun. I found parser-based graphic adventure games even more fun, though.

I've always thought them fun, if a little clumsy on computer, I loved those choose your own adventure books.

I make this thread because once in a while I like fooling around with game making tools, like TADS or Inform... it's fun but I don't really have good writing skills (specially in english) so I always end up stuck with a neat plot and no text

My favorite is between Hitchhiker and Planetfall. Floyd rules

I find a well made Text Adventure Game to be far more enjoyable then almost all other types. But that's just me.

I've played one on my TI-83 before... Sucked.

It might be because the TI-83 wasn't really designed for text...

Let me guess. You forgot your towel.
