A forum I go to got a game up called the green dragon, which is a text based RPG. It's actually really fun, and if anybody would like to join, or at least check it out, here's the link: Click Here. (http://logd.therustyaxe.com/referral.php?r=HeLLMasteRHeLL)

Heh, it's finally come full circle has it? Text based games a novelty now?
Sorry, I played text based games back when computer games didn't have graphics or sound. I'm not going back to that again.
If you'd like a taste of what the transition from text based RPGs to graphic based ones was like check out Thy Dungeonman 3 (http://www.homestarrunner.com/dman3.html). The weird pause and stuttering sound you hear is a joke on how slow and loud the Commodore 64 floppy drive was. (Thats 5 1/4" disks)

That's right! Now you know why I endured 100+ F (37.8+ C) degree tempratures during the summer to stay at my cousin's house.

Text based RPG's have gone a long way. I remember playing them a long time ago, and how shitty most of them were. Alot of them were easy to cheat as well. But hey, I like this one. It's fuuuuun. =P
