Cubone posted:Zork I would say is a little different, because I think it's like that on purpose. instead of incompetence and needing you to read the game designers' mind, Zork that knows what it's doing is wrong, but it's toying with you. it's a bit like I Wanna Be the Guy- the point is that it's unfair, and the fun of it (if you like) is tangoing with the unfairness and this kinda smug persona of the all-knowing designer. Zork rules, even with bullshit like the earthquake in zork ii (permanently blocks off an area if you don't get through it by the time it happens) or the wizard showing up and stealing critical items (just a random gently caress-you softlock). In the third one there are simple solutions to many of the puzzles, but they require you giving up items you've acquired, and since the goal of the game is to become the dungeon master, whose raiment is the items you have to give up to solve them you can't actually win the game if you take the shortcuts. I have a lot of fond memories of all the text-based Zorks and the Enchanter series

mysterious loyall X posted:the early sierra games and infocom games, especially zork since that was their very first game, were directly inspired by stuff like the colossal cave adventure, which gave you text descriptions of rooms, a text parser for interactions, and killed you nonstop. everyone at infocom went to mit and had access to the pdp-10s and poo poo which is what the great cave adventure was designed on in like 1976, and thats what the original zork ran on (it was "released" in like 1977 or 78). You were there. Old.

Tangential but since we're on the subject of text adventure games, check this one out (free): https://dwheeler.com/anchorhead/ It's a Cthulhu horror game where you play a woman that moved to a fishing town with your family. The game happens over a few days. Besides the infocom games this one stuck with me. It won a lot of awards.

someone made a mouselook + wasd movement patch for ultima underworld 1 and 2 its pretty impressive. https://github.com/JohnGlassmyer/UltimaHacks uu1+2 aren't like super clunky compared to other looking glass studios hits like good ol system shock and other antedeluvian dos pieces of garbage, but its nice you can toggle it on and off + wasd works wether mouse look is on or your using the old mouse movement pointer mode. mostly tho i wanted ot psot the intro which i had forgot about. hell for all i know i had a floppy version with no speech at all idr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gW-Eo2Y8PmQ&t=199s
