Favorite text adventures?

[igowerf]

I started playing text adventures again a few months ago. So far, I've played around in the Zork games, Dragon World, and another one that was really hard... I haven't beaten any of them yet.

I found them at the-underdogs.org. Let me know if I shouldn't link to that site. Any suggestions or favorites?

NetHack, TOME, ADOM......

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is one of my favs.

I wish I had enough time right now to check some of those out

You know... that blue sad face looks more angry than sad to me.

They're games like Riven or Myst, except it's all done through text. You enter commands like north, west, east, south, look, talk, etc. to interact with objects.

I once tried to make my own a while back (last year). After about a month of work, I realized that I was in way over my head. As with most of my projects, I started over, lost the file, and never really got started again.

I actually do that a lot too. I have tons of unfinished projects ranging from failed attempts at programming to website designs. I delete them after a few months.

That was a fun game

I think I played all of the text-only Infocom adventures except Moonmist and Witness. My favorite by far was Planetfall, although Enchanter is a close second.

I enjoyed Starcross (another Infocom adventure) - I even had the "collectors edition" that cam packaged in a white plastic space saucer (wish I had kept it - saw an intact one go for >$150 on eBay!!!!!!)
