Klaiber Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 I thought some people here might appreciate this: https://amnesia-restored.com/ This is a restored version of the text adventure game Amnesia, originally released in 1986. It was written by sci-fi writer Thomas M. Disch and programmed by Kevin Bentley. Snaggle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Hey that's pretty neato.... I played DEADLINE by INFOCOM back when we got our IBM 8086 computer. Had to use floppies, we couldn't afford the 1 meg hard drive, it was $1,000 Klaiber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britchot Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 One of my first games was “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, a text based game on my parent’s IBM PC. It came with some bonus stuff, like a baggie of pocket lint, a button that said “Don’t Panic”, and a pair of black cardboard sunglasses that “dimmed when danger was near.” I got stuck at one point and got my parents go get me the novel to read in order to figure it out. I was 8. wheelsup_cavu and Klaiber 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
