And one of the best game series too! If you haven’t played and have time- it was a commodore text based game like Zork. They have browser versions now. If you aren’t familiar with text based games it’s a little different than most games- and it’s VERY helpful to keep notes. Now days internet and guides can do that work for you- but those games were dark souls unforgiving. You could easily lose in the first couple minutes of play, anywhere along the way- no saves- and sometimes you’d lose 5 minutes in but have to wait 6,20 hours of play before you found out you couldn’t win. Oh- and they often wouldn’t tell you what you even needed so you knew what to look for next time. You just had to keep trying until you figured it out. Challenging, frustrating- but fun!
I had a hunch you might have- so I hope you didn’t think I was over explaining- most of that was just for if anyone else is a fan and sees this post but doesn’t know (with a splash of “old guy rambling about the ‘old days’” thrown in for good measure!
