nothing against Lucasarts, they're just really popular and i don't see non-lucasarts games get discussed a lot.just finished pic related after nearly 30 years. great game, great humor, beautiful graphics/music. a few moon logic puzzles. don't like the UI. game suffers greatly from "find the single magic pixel to click on". also can't believe they included a south park reference. thinking about trying out zork nemesis next.
>>12770587Zork: Grand mosquitor lol
>>12770587have you played the text adventure zork games ?i tried them a bit and im getting filtered hard.
>>12770587this nigga straight up zorkin it lmao
>>12771042Not OP, but I've only played through the first one with a walkthrough because I got stuck partway through and wanted to finish. They're not really that good, just difficult. The first one is probably one of the few text adventure games you can lose due to bad RNG. And the 2nd or 3rd one is somewhat infamous for having that one puzzle that becomes unsolvable after you've performed X turns, making sure no one was going to solve it on their first playthrough. If you don't realize time is progressing in-game with every turn you take, you'll never figure out where you're going wrong. You might not even realize the thing you need to progress is now forever gone.Honestly, Infocom made some much better text adventures that are far more enjoyable to play than the Zork series, the Zork series just had the old-school appeal in the 80's since it was a port of a popular 70's mainframe text adventure broken up into three parts. Their Sherlock Holmes text adventure game deserves far more praise than the Zork games. It had a lot of the same features of the Zork games, but a bit more polish and even a built-in hint system if you're really stuck hard and need a push in the right direction.
>>12771568>they're not that good, just difficult>In 2007, Zork was included in the game canon by the Library of Congress as one of the ten most important video games in history.
I actually hate puzzles but Dreamfall story was good.
Translation of PS1 japanese port of zork when?
>>12771042>have you played the text adventure zork games ?nope. don't really have any interest for text-only games. i like the zork universe but not that much. video games are supposed to be a multimedia experience.
>have to read 100 fucking pages of pointless exposition at the start of the gameMyst was trash. Riven is the wholly better game
>>12771716text adventures are only as good as your imagination. you have my sympathies
>>12771865>playing a text only game when it's going to be inferior to pretty much any bookcringe
>>12771865>text adventures are only as good as your imagination.They are way to slow and have way too much guesswork command wise.You are not a genius for playing text adventure games, you are a retard too stupid to read a good book instead.
I like the rhem series.Feels like myst for wannabe engineers.
>>12771885Man, that is some high quality seethe.
>>12771865Unironically old text adventures are lacking a lot of text because of floppy disk limitations
>>12772268True. It was even worse on tape.48k don't allow for many characters, moreso when they also have to store graphics & code.
>>12771865>>12771879>>12771885>not gaming on Choose your own adventure books video game.
>>12772260No argument, as expect of a retard.And you want to play text adventure games?
>>12770587I'm intrigued
>>12773223>No argumentI didn't post an argument, because you didn't post one either, dumb nig-tard.
>>12773215Im sure plenty of people on this board have played Snatcher.
>>12773461menu based japventure games were a mistake
>>12773472i think that dithering gave me eye cancer

>>12773484>not browsing 4chan on a blurry CRTyou only have yourself to blame
>>12773472> Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom>google it>immediately get rule34 art of her getting buttfucked by black cockThe internet was a mistake.
>>12771575"Important" and "good" can be different.and "important" and "fun" are different quite often.
I miss this type of sovl
>>12773962If a video game is "important" in regards to the development of video games as a medium, then by a matter of deduction, it is also "good" and "fun".
