If you want to find the nerds in a senior center, turn off the lights and say "It's pitch black. You're likely to be eaten by a grue." The nerds will laugh or say "turn lamp on".
>>12705135I'm more of a Colossal Cave kind of guy.
Zork has a really fun setting that could have been expanded on more.
>>12705163>could have been expanded on moreIt had 11 games.
>>12705163it got a fair amount of games
What does a grue look like
>>12705708
>>12706126This image is from the book "Monstrosities" by Frog God Games so it is not accurate to the description of grues in the Zork games but it is also too funny not to post.There are some illustrated Zork books from the 80s in which grues unironically look kind of like chuds from the movie CHUD.
>>12706126Awww it's smiling!
>>12705135PS1 Zork translation when?
>>12706139>Grues look like chuds
helpo you guys i wanna make an adventure is godot good
>IF in 1992
>>12705135Whose X feed did you get this post from?
I stop playing once I get into the underground maze. Too confusing and frustrating.
why didnt they just use roguelike ascii graphics? were they retarded?
>>12706885Interesting
>>12706849Did you really think this was a clever thing to post? Or are you fucking stupid enough to think that someone could be aware of the movie CHUD and not know about the chud meme which literally took its name from that movie? "Better post the image so everyone knows what I'm talking about!" Fucking idiot.
>>12707040I only play games with good graphics, like Manic Miner
>>12706849Kek fuck you now I'm going to see a fucking soijak whenever I'm playing zork.
>>12707040Tehcnological evolution. Rogue-style graphics weee made possible by the "curses" library that didn't exist yet when zork was made.
>>12707980The joke was to obvious to not do it.
>>12705162I'm still lost in the fucking forest.
>>12710242Huh?>https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2021/06/brief-everything-we-know-about-1970s.htmlBefore Richard Garriott made Akalabeth, he made games which worked on teletype printers...
>>12705135yep. this board is absolutely dead. hey jannies and mods, if you want to make it look like your board isn't completely dead, have you tried not spamming the board with shit?
>>12710812What Curses made possible is redrawing only parts of the screen instead of refreshing it all. Obviously it isn't relevant for a teletype, which could not do it for purely physical reasons. So whatever he did on teletypes is irrelevant
>>12708231>hahaha, I samefagged myself to poison the well for this clearly apolitical game! I'm so clever!Chop your dick off then kill yourself.
>Games didn't even have fancy graphics back then, I tell ya -- and they came in boxes you could be buried in!
>>12712445>and they came in boxes you could be buried in!First genuinely funny post on 4chan I've read in days. What the fuck happened to this site?
>>12712415You are not a real programmer, please be silent. You don't have any idea what you are talking about.
>>12711197I heard people spouting this stupid fucking meme throughout high school. Cringed every fucking time.
>>12712779I'm not sure what's worse, the thought that you're a zoomer who was only in high school when Portal came out, or the thought that you're a grown man using zoomer slang like cringe.
>>12712435>(you)
>>12713316>Look mom, I posted it again! Take that you heckin retro loving conservitards!
>>12705708they're...gruesome
>>12714210Oh shit, is that where their name comes from?
>>12712098Why are you such a crybaby, this is like the only board on the site that autosages threads after two weeks because of people like you who whine all the time instead of just hiding the threads you don't like. So don't worry little baby, if you hate this thread all you have to do is wait a week and you won't have to see it again because everyone has to protect your fragile little feelings.
