#textbasedgames

2025-05-08

Any love out here in the fediverse for #textbasedgames ? Perhaps #Cyberpunk themes? I've got a banger for ya in Cypher. I stumbled on this indie gem back in 2017 and have played through it a few times now. So refreshing to sit down with a purely narrative experience, keep notes manually and use ones imagination to bring the world to life.

Trolling my family's chat about games as one group raves about #TitanFall & another about #StardewValley. And here I am enjoying a text #MUD. 🤣

To those who play audio or text based #games, what do you look for in a #computer? I’m looking at #desktopComputers, and I’m unsure if I need a good dedicated #graphicsCard since most of the games I play are #audiogames or #textBasedGames. I would prefer not to buy a #gamingDesktop with a dedicated graphics card since that drives the price up a few hundred dollars.

Aaah, I’ve just found a new way to practice my Chinese! I downloaded this game ages ago: Teahouse of the Gods by Naca Rat, choiceofgames.com/teahouse/. Just started playing it and discovered you can set the Chinese dialogue to render in hanzi or pinyin, rather than English!

In the foreground, a mysterious, silver-haired character smiles at the viewer.Screenshot from the game, explaining that your response to the question, “Do you speak Chinese?” will determine the appearance of Chinese dialogue: Chinese characters, pinyin, or minimal Chinese text.Screenshot from the game, where description is in English but the characters’ Chinese conversation is shown in hanzi.

For other #blind people or those into #textBasedGames, what are your favorite #accessible games? Mine these days are Lost Vault and Magic Research. Can't play most #audiogames because of #autism and processing issues. Can only play those where sounds aren't critical to the game or there aren't a lot. I also play a lot of word #games and things like that.

Hm, perhaps someone of you can give me a starting point:

I was wondering how #textbasedgames of the 80s parsed input.

According to Wikipedia, they understood a few hundred commands.

Is that with a proper parser?
Regular Expressions? Inclusion checks on substrings?

I'm pondering whether #gamedevjs might be a Scribblenauts clone of sorts.

RAW as in #RulesAsWritten
