StaceyPowers Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Is anyone else here into old text adventures, i.e. the original Zork games? If so, what are some of your favourites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpotato Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Well the only one I cant think of is Zork 😆 I did played some choose Your Own Adventure Books in High school like the Lone Wolf series. You had to use a dice and math to win battles , kinda like Dungeons and Dragons. StaceyPowers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaceyPowers Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 @TheSteelyardDweller @kingpotato Actually, some of them did have "graphics" of a sort. I.e. maps made out of characters on the screen, or even simple images. I can't recall specifically if that was present in any of the single player games, but I know that a lot of MUDs feature that kind of thing.

I only played Zork 1 and thats as far as my experience goes. I would like to try a MUD someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to try a MUD someday. I expect they are! The site to visit if you want to find a MUD is http://www.mudconnect.com/. When I used it, their database was always up-to-date and provided a lot of useful information so that you can narrow down categories and find what you want. I haven't played MUDs in around fifteen years, but they were alive and well back when I did. If you do find one that you enjoy, please let me know what it is, as I've always wanted to find a good one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
