It gets harder from there.

Interesting. I had never heard about that game! I’m going to have to check it out now.

Close- Adams made two games for Infocom. This one and a ridiculously hard to the point of impossibility game called Bureaucracy.

Then he made Starship Titanic some years later for The Digital Village.

I wouldn’t call Starship Titanic a text adventure. It’s point-and-click overall with some text elements in terms of things like certain descriptions. Sort of like a more advanced version of a Sierra On-Line game.

That’s neat!

Not any action, but they had a pretty large vocabulary. There were some basic commands they all shared like LOOK and EAST and INVENTORY. They would tell you if they didn’t understand.

I prefer a bottle of that old Janx Spirit.

That was the most frustrating part of the game- finding out that you should have done something else ages ago and now you can never finish even though it let you keep going.

There were at least five Zork games I can think of that were purely text (graphical ones came later): Zork, Zork II, Zork III, Beyond Zork and Zork Zero.

I love that ‘no tea’ was listed as one of the things included in the box.

Adams wrote most of the text of the game. He also created another INFOCOM game, Bureaucracy, which was basically impossible. And if you don’t believe me, check out a walkthrough sometime. There are multiple points where you’ll say, “well how would anyone ever think of that?” Especially when it gets to the airplane.

You finished it?!

Yes! I remember that too! And yes, I was a huge Infocom fan. I think the only one I got all the way through without help was Wishbringer, but I can’t remember one I didn’t enjoy playing.

Hmm… I definitely had at least one of those for an Infocom game… Maybe I had that one? But I don’t remember getting to the end of the game. It was so long ago, I don’t remember. I just remember it was basically a FAQ where you had to use a special marker to reveal the answer.
