Making them even more difficult was the limited parser. The puzzles in most text adventures are the very reason why so few of them have ever been fully completed! These puzzles are some of the hardest you are likely to ever come up against. I agree with you that when the Zork games went graphical, it was a major let down.Īsk any two people who played any of the Zork games what a grue looked like and you will always get totally different answers because it was up to the person what they looked like.
But there is the true genius with all of the old Infocom games, and most great horror film – your imagination will always build things for you much more vividly than any computer graphics ever will. Because there were no graphics, it was simply you, your keyboard, and your imagination. Thanks for listening to the show and I hope you have a great weekend.
