Quick Screen Shot
Figured I might as well show a quick screen shot of game play from Eldritch Adventures. As you can see, it's all text based. Someone asked about a youtube video, but I don't see the point with a text based game.
Oh, the nostalgia! I actually wrote a text adventure game back in the days for the C16. It was a year before I upgraded onto a C64. Yes, that's right, the C16 only had 16kB, 12 under BASIC (but it was 3.5, whooo) and in graphics mode you had astonishing 2kB left for programing. If you imagine that those capacities wouldn't even be sufficient for a single .jpg nowadays ...
ah! I love text based games. I thought I was the only onee... :D haven't played one in years though.. might have to try this one out.
ReplyDeleteI have NEVER met anyone else who plays this game
ReplyDeleteI've never met ANYBODY who has played this game before.
ReplyDeleteText based games probably stimulate your imagination a bit more...
ReplyDeleteI quite enjoy them when I have the time.
I like the name, and I agree with Zoxii, text based games are great, ahhhh zorc.
