What is your favorite text-based game written in #BASIC?
Rules:
1. Any dialect of BASIC is valid.
2. "Text" can include extended characters in common use in the 8-bit era.
3. #interactiveficiton or #IF is valid, but the scope of the question is wider than that.
4. No sprites or graphical tiles.
5. Modern games that meet this criteria are valid.

For last year’s Flights of Foundry convention, I had a chance to talk about writing text-based video games with @phoebebarton, @kateheartfield, @RobotLeBlanc, and Tenacity Plys. It was a great discussion, and now it’s available for folks interested in #writing text-based #interactiveficiton to watch. https://youtu.be/88ODA8q1qvg
I think I don't like doors in parser games anymore, unless they're awesome like the guarded door in Enchanter.
I say this even though I do have two problem doors in my WIP 😞

I finished my early-to-mid 90's playlist to go with my IF set in 1996. I've gotten really old, somehow.
I haven't encountered a lot of playlists made to accompany IF games, though I really like the idea.
