In addition to what the others have said... Have a look for the Guild of Thieves, Fish, Jinxter and Corruption graphic & text adventure games by Magnetic Scrolls, they're an old PC/Atari/Amiga Graphic & Text adventure dev. Infocom are another old dev/publisher who are well known for their text adventures like Zork, StarCross. Speccy had Level 9 who made Snowball and Red Moon and there was Delta 4 who made Big Sleaze, Bored of the Rings and others. Scott Adams had a bunch of Marvel themed graphic & text adventures back in the day, Hulk, Spiderman etc. DOS and Apple had the MacVenture series (Shadow Gate etc) and games similar to those like Frederik Pohl's Gateway. Where they have text entry but a GUI for portraits, actions and inventory. That should give you a good start for the retro stuff anyway. Remember though that a lot of these games can be complete and utter assholes to you the player. They are classics but they were also damned obtuse at times, make lots of notes and maps. |
