Have been gaming since the mid 80's and text adventures were a main feature. Years later and I owned Lost Treasures 1 and 2 then the Masterpieces CD. I topped that with IUB.zip - pretty much everything Infocom.
Jason Scott then produced Get Lamp - I have a coin - which brought so much of that era together.
I view text adventures, be they Infocom, Level 9 or others, as an inspiration to others. A re-release could only be a good thing.

- tarek_computer 3y agoawesome. thank you
- 7thaccount 3y agoText adventures are awesome. I'm sad that I missed out on that era. What do you think about all the modern text adventure games built on stuff like Inform7?
- bluGill 3y agoSome of them are very good, some are garbage (to be kind). As you would expect from amateur productions. Inform7 is a reasonably good system/engine and can produce good games, the only question is the quality of the authors which varies.
