Game still in development, but thinking ahead to promoting it. I remember as a kid going to Egghead Software and seeing Zork and Rogue for sale there. So, I have some nostalgia for the store. I'm planning on promoting the game the old fashioned way (at least partially)...in person. So, I made an Egghead store banner to hang up to catch people's attention. #retrocomputing #gamedev #interactivefiction #textadventures

Zum Vintage Computing Festival Europe #vcfe gibt es ein von Bernd Sedlmair und Hans Franke entwickeltes, deutschsprachiges Textadventure namens "VCFE - Ein Wochenende unter Nerds", das mittels der Zork-Maschine ausgeführt werden kann:

Noch nerdiger und epochenkorrekter geht es eigentlich kaum.

🤖 Ah, yes, the noble quest of breathing life back into 1980s text adventures because nothing screams cutting-edge #innovation like resurrecting #Zork for the umpteenth time. 🌈✨ Now, you too can relive the magic of typing "north" for hours on any device, all in the name of making Windows happy with a .exe suffix. 🎉

in which I finish Time Warden, a lost ZX81 game and an attempt at referencing Dr. Who

and observe the curious difference between fantasy and sci-fi in early adventure games

and also, as, usual, come across a thumpingly bad moment of parser feedback

Learning Zork Implementation Language, by Steve Meretzky
Back in the days of hallowed Infocom, the people who made a living making text adventures better than anyone else ever has before or since, life was often pretty harrowing. They had some huge hits, like Zork, Planetfall and The

Text adventure enthusiasts! I have a question.

Other than Infocom/Inform, what was your favourite adventure engine/authoring system for 8-bit machines?

I'm interested in both people who played games using these engines, and people who created games with them (even if you never released them).

Preview de ETT FANTASMAL, mi aventura de texto para Inform sobre el fantasma de un yonki que trabaja para una ETT del Más Allá.

Sí, tendrá faltas de ortografía y el parser las aceptará como comandos válidos. Todo a mano, sin chanchullos de IA´s y esas cosas, lo que me obligará a meter bastantes más horas...

Episode 12 of the #RetroAdventurers is out, wherein I was brought on to review a couple of #InteractiveFiction #TextAdventures inspired by #Shakespeare plays with Jason Compton. I managed not to finish either game to completion this time, but absolutely enjoyed one far more than the other. Tune in for connections to #StarTrek 2, Graham Nelson's Inform rendition of The Tempest, and one American explaining a pun that only works with a non-rhotic accent to another American.
