Here's the kind of minor-yet-cool thing that I love to see, a crossstitch project based off of the first room of Zork, but with a little extra when viewed at night!

A surprising story in John Romero's memoir: apparently Activision hired his startup Inside Out Software to finish Brian Moriarty's #Infocom game Timesync, left unfinished when Moriarty moved to #LucasArts. I suppose the project was abandoned when Inside Out fell apart.
Notice Romero uses the spelling "Timesync" rather than the more usually seen "Timesink".
Also, apparently the game had enough graphics for Inside Out to hire a dedicated artist for it. #johnromero

Originally made for the #Amstrad #CPC, my experience of it was from a #YourSinclair covertape.
Anyway, it's been on my list to attempt porting it to #Psion #EPOC16 for ages. It's not top priority, but the machine is perfectly designed for playing #textadventure games (see @root42's escapades with #Infocom).
Be great if it could decompile and play old games, too.

175 followers · 2472 posts · Server toot.ioI'll pick a subset of my favorite games that also intersect with the set of games which are the inspirations for and influences upon my new game Slartboz:
1. NetHack
2. Infocom's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
3. Steve Jackson's Illuminati
and 4 more (imo) masterpieces which, I hope, you'll be able to tell once you see and get to play Slartboz for your very self

I remember when I had the attention span required to play Trinity.😉
Here's the comic book that accompanied the game.

This is *amazing*: a #CrossStitch tribute to the legendary #TextAdventure game #Zork with two of its most iconic lines.
Be sure to click through for the heartwarming story behind it.
You can buy a PDF of the pattern (not the physical product!) from its creator here: https://brokenneedle.gumroad.com/l/westofhouse

is a game, so meant to be Fun
and Funny. (well, it tries to be funny)
so expect:
* satire
* parody
* mockery
* farce
* pranks & pratfalls
* in-jokes
* hip/dank memes
* puns
* alliteration
* rhyme & meter play
* homonyms
* allusion & innuendo
* Dad Jokes
* absurdity
* tangents & asides -- sometimes quite fractally & to a ridiculous degree

217 followers · 2172 posts · Server linuxrocks.onlinePlease suggest #CRPG or #adventure games with environment-interaction on at least the level of #Ultima 5++, Divine Divinity, Divinity: Original Sin, #Oblivion, Skyrim, #Nethack, or a well-modeled #Infocom /
#MagneticScrolls / #TADS / #Inform -level #TextAdventure — objects are movable or at least destructible, items “physically” exist in the world and aren’t just transfered from one menu to another (inventory), things can be in or on other things…
I am tired of games that are all gloss and surface with just the plot-relevant things being interactable.
Bonus points for elemental physics (water, fire, etc.), day/night/weather/climate, and basic needs simulation like needing to stay warm, fed, etc.
Reluctant malus points for pure dungeon crawls, although I do in principle adore games like Arx Fatalis, Dark Messiah of M&M, and Monomyth.
Serious malus points for turn-based games with party micro-management. Single-player much preferred.
Fantasy also much preferred.

124 followers · 1741 posts · Server toot.ioSlartboz -- the new computer game I'm making -- is partly a homage to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. I am a huge fan, loved the ideas and its style, and had always wished more books/shows/games/utensils existed like it in the world.
Even if our long scheduled in advance global apocalypse is hurtling towards us, ready to begin surely Any Day Now and in fact may have Already Begun But Sneakily.
