I have been a big fan of Text Adventures (IF) for such a long time. I cannot recall the number of listings I have entered in over the decades. Although the game is pure text, it utilises one of the best imaging systems on the planet, one's imagination... I have used many IF engines in the past, many are very good, but I always seem to gravitate towards a "Basic" version. Sure, it is more work and may not be as "pretty" as a lot of IF engines, but Basic is what I do best...
Thank you for the game; the experience and the memories...
Sure. Now good luck getting out of the %$^% foyer!
It is true about our imaginations. I mean look at that cool image Donald posted for the game box. Awesome! Companies were smart enough to hire professional artists to produce an image that would set a potential buyer's imagination in motion. Always a bit of buyer's remorse after the fact, but that's a lot of what x-mas is after the packages are all ripped open. I guess human psychology, like QB64, is also quite BASIC. Oh, btw, my mother was a commercial artist for a major toy company. You guys can tell that gene skips a generation.
