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. 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
