Ultimate Retro Project
Episode 57: Classic Text Adventure

Save your girlfriend from a werewolf

Page Last Updated: October 31, 2008

Overview

What better way to celebrate Halloween (the official release date of this game) then by having a text adventure with a horror theme. Text adventures were a common type of adventure game with the earliest text adventures using a two word parser. While some commercial text adventures (yes, people actually use to pay money for text based games) had full sentence input, but from a programming perspective Verb Noun based parsers were much easier to write and many old adventure games use that format.
