This reminds me of that hypnotic phrase from the 12 Monkeys tv series.
Anyways, whatever happened to these types of games? Did it just die out as computers got more powerful, and everyone just played first-person shooters or 3d role playing games?
- lapetitejort 6y agoWithout first checking, I can confidently say you'll probably be able find a good modern interactive fiction game on itch.io.
- tomku 6y agoThere are still people making new works of interactive fiction, including in the parser-based style of Adventure or Zork. You can find a lot of the more recent games on IFDB[0] and general info about IF and the community on IFWiki[1]. Most modern parser games are built for VMs with interpreters available for many operating systems and types of devices, with Lectrote[2] being a common recommendation for desktop platforms.

- selimthegrim 6y agoThere was one called Disco Elysium a couple years ago that made quite a few waves (but more graphical obviously)
- wwwwewwww 6y agoThe games are still being made, and are very high quality. Once every few years I go to http://xyzzyawards.org http://xyzzyawards.org and play the winners.
