I pledge my undying love to you, Memnoch, for knowing the difference between "Heracles" and "Hercules".

ROTFL, Illumina you're so..err..easy to please!

LS- we would sit and draw diagrams to figure out what was NSEW in those silly games.

Iron Greasel- really? They make text only games for today's computers? Now that's interesting! New ones or are they remakes of the classics, maybe?

Herakles and Hercules, to get closer to the Greek spelling

New ones. They are also easy to make. You don't have to reinvent the metaphorical wheel, just download a suitable program, add a plot, and you're done! You don't even need graphics!

Some editors could be found from http://www.ambrosine.com/resource.html if given time.

Yes Nachty - that was my first game - you are now in the dark, you are about to be eaten by a GRUE!!! And then you had something like 3 turns to light something or "gulp".

I played Zork not too long ago! Obviously I'm spoiled being a Nintendo generation kid, but I admit, the whole text-based RPG does has its charms!

I remember Zork and The Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy text games on my Commodore 64... however I didn't play them much... was young, my english wasn't so good, and the sparkly graphics of other games were more appealing... (hey look, a moth)

But Ultima V I liked, had it on Atari ST and it was the first RPG I played along with Dungeon Master (now that was a good game).
