Hi everyone,
Being ill for some days has its advantages. For starters, you can always read those books you never seem to have time to on regular occasions. Thanks to a strong flu, I was "forced" to trade my keyboard for some books myself, and one I picked was Origin's "Quest for Clues", which I read from top to bottom. Suddenly it dawned on me more than ever: "Those were THE days!". Back in the days starting with Colossal Cave to later adventures like Moonmist, Amnesia, Brimstone, Ballyhoo, etcetc, creators had to rely purely on their ability to make great stories and puzzles instead of relying on the "Story is so-so, but the graphics and sound make up to it" formula that we are forced to put up with nowadays. Even though some of those old I-F (I assume this expression can be used correctly here?) games had graphics, some of them on some platforms had just text, which as we all know merely gives wings to our fertile imagination. Knowing there is a good amount of I-F fans in this forum (and there's a new one right here), I wonder if anyone ever feels the craving to dig up an old machine and play those things as if we were back in the early 80s? Take care y'all, Pedro Pedro R.
