Time for shore leave!!
Oh, when I was growing up, text adventures were my thing. My first computer was a Commodore Vic20, so I had the Scott Adams games, Adventure Isle and a Dracula one (names are probably off). 2 word parsers, no internet or clue books for help, but good times.
Then upgraded to an Apple IIc so I could finally play the Infocom titles. Planetfall and Hitchhikers (book nerd) were my favs, I was rockin' high school with my "I caught the Babel fish" t-shirt, which was basically a magnet for bullies. Playing those games really expanded my vocabulary at the time. Also the packaging for the Infocom games was amazing, so many goodies. I still have whats left of my Stellar Patrol I.D. card from Planetfall in my wallet, always gets a odd look when it gets noticed.
