The news that old-school adventure game pioneers Roberta and Ken Williams are returning to gaming after 25 years with a virtual reality version of classic game Colossal Cave got me thinking about how awesome text adventure games were. Elden Ring is cool and all, but sometimes you want to type “GO NORTH” and enjoy some perfectly rendered mind-graphics.
If you’ve never played a text game, you should. Doing so is incredibly easy, and also free. And you certainly don’t need to worry about a fancy graphics card or your system specs” All 10 games listed here are playable in your browser, and any one of them would make a great jumping off point into the pool of interactive fiction.
I remember in the days of my HP41CV calculator, playing 'Hunt the Wumpus' which was a text based game about moving through a series of dark caves, missing the obstacles along the way, and trying to find and kill the Wumpus.
