@Tijn @DigiAntiquarian That was a very entertaining episode! Going back and forth between gameplay and the backstory made it really interesting. I never thought I'd listen to all of the almost 4h, but in the end I did! :-)

Did you know that there were #infocom novels published, matching the games?

Electronic Arts asked, in their advertising campaign, "Can a computer make you cry?" Implying that *their* games may just be able to do that. Meanwhile, the competition was way ahead of them; #Planetfall did just that instead of just speculating about it.
And in-between times I am playing with a new (to me) Z-Code interpreter called Vezza in RunCPM.
So far so good... Running all my favourites (inc all the Zorks), so far as high as some Z5's.
Loving an easy single interpreter that I can just chuck data files at as CMD line parameters!

And/Or
Planetfall is a 2015 science fiction novel by British writer Emma Newman.
I love this tale set on a far distant planet with a mysterious city that managed to put some different twists on familiar tropes and really empathised with Ren the central character.

#Myst was hugely popular, though I think it had more to do with being a "novelty"... a text adventure (ala #Infocom) with pictures.
I've LONG wished #Activision (which owns the old Infocom library) would release 1st person 3D versions of all of the old classics (it can be done now. In the 8bit days, it would have been FAR too complicated.) #HHG2TG #Zork #LeatherGoddesses #Planetfall

My #BGStats roundup of #BoardGames played in
January. If I hadn’t been invited along to an all day session where I got 6 games in it would have been a very poor month.
New to me games
#RedRising collect cards that synergise in your hand and try to avoid your opponents doing the same. Hard to figure out what is best but we all wanted to play again.
#Planetfall tableau building game that didn’t seem to have much depth really, or maybe I just picked the right thing for an easy win.

“Fred Harris goes behind the scenes at Boston software company #Infocom. The developer has enjoyed great success with its line of text adventure games - the likes of #Zork, #Planetfall, #Enchanter, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - which eschew graphics in favour of a simple text display, and arcade gameplay in favour of what the company calls 'interactive fiction'.
Game designer #DaveLiebling - one of Infocom's founder members - is currently putting the finishing touches to a new game called #Spellbreaker. He explains the processes that go in to making a good text-adventure game.

Zork I and Planetfall With The Edge Taken Off
Infocom text adventures in the classic style have this interesting thing they do where you explore interesting locations and solve puzzles in the rooms, but there's also some miscellaneous things you have to do to keep yourself alive. Resource management.
