Could you give me a few names of renowned old textual adventure games.
I am not old enough to remember these times...

Thanks in advance.

Infocom is the name you should look after. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Leather Goddesses of Phobos
Planetfall
A Mind Forever Voyaging
Zork I & II & III

When I was younger I tried them out, but didn´t have enough english skill to advance anywhere. But they seemed really interesting.

I used to love those! There were two that I played loads...can't remember one of their names, the other was called Humbug!
Yeah yeah makes me sound old, but I first played PC games when I was 6 so I started early, it's not that I'm old

I like adventures. The best genre of games after RPGs. I tried to play a few textual ones, and failed miserably...

Not too user friendly. I am a child of Windows era (as Weimer says

).
