Its interesting to imagine asking a bunch of normal devs today to make a basic text adventure. Imagine the approaches they'd take and how lost they'd be!? :D
The very first game I played as called "L Game" on the rare (and underappreciated) RM Nimbus 80186s at high school in the UK. It was a text adventure and the rooms were forming an L. A quick googling finds a playable version online: http://bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=2147 http://bbcmicro.co.uk/game.php?id=2147 (there goes my afternoon)
- kingcharles 5y agoThe RM Nimbus machines were vastly under-rated, I agree. I loved those machines. They're really rare now, probably because most were network-boot and couldn't be used outside of a networked environment and I guess most schools just threw them in the bin.
