I remember very few text based adventures because they were decades before my birth. There's a project called Quest which is a simple interface where people can design their own text based adventures, so there's a community of developers creating contemporary adventures and you could make your own. The difficulty of finding old text based adventures nowadays is that developers have shifted entirely to graphical entities for depictment of a scene or that they're so old disks are practically nonexistent and your chances of obtaining anything short of a collection would require illegal means.

Furthermore, this was before the days of professional game reviewing and most of these names were only elicited through discussions with the computing geeks. There's no easy way to find someone who knows the quintessence of text based adventures. I'm afraid you're either going to get hit-and-miss suggestions or it will take quite a bit of Googling.

There were mainstream ones like Police Quest but you're not going to get a catalog of nostalgic memorabilia with the few names that are remembered today.

Picked up the X Superbox, now to try my hand at the space sim genre.

Brain3000

The X series is good but if you really want to try out the space simulation genre Freespace 2 was when it reached its peak. It went open source to help the game survive and so the code and game files are all available.

It's an exceptional piece of software and the most beneficial medium for digital distribution, but at the present it's peak time. If the patch is downloading slowly why not play a game that doesn't require Steam? I downloaded King Arthur, took about an hour and a half (for an 7.5GB game, lets not forget) and the Steam servers didn't manage to shift all the files properly. It was a shame but the validation and patching process took a fraction of that time and I occupied myself in the meantime because I knew sitting stolidly watching every percentage that the download counter went up would get me bored.

And stop being so rude to people, it's not going to help.

If it's just a bowl then I'm not really sure if it has a technical name, it could just be named after the company that invented it at which point an actual name would be rather esoteric. It could be a blender or liquidiser but that would mean that the salad would be sliced in the process of spinning. Not sure on this one.

The reason no one is taking you seriously is because this stuff doesn't work for the same reason zombie apocalypses and tentacle erotica don't happen in real life. Animé is fictionous work, do not believe that workouts in Dragon Ball Z apply to real life. Anatomical design has adapted to wordly conditions so putting more stress on the body is just going to kill you not make you some Hulk.

Just bought my mate Mass Effect 2 since it was going cheaply and apparently he wanted it. Nothing in the sales really struck me today, Alpha Protocol and Darksiders looked like nice buys but they also looked like five hour single-player games with lots of flash and very little to keep them going gameplay-wise, so I skipped today of the sales.

I'm hoping for a better selection tomorrow. I'm practically out of cash anyway, good thing I'll be getting money from relatives on Saturday. :D

That's because it wasn't under the influence of wind. Without wind the flag would simply droop on the pole, which the Americans didn't really want, so they attached a coil above the flag that suspended it. When it was hit into the ground the coil vibrated causing the flag to shake how it did.

At least, that's from what I know.

Day 3: Railworks 2. =p Considering Spore Bundle.Allicrombie

I wouldn't buy Spore. It's fun for a few games but really becomes a bit of a drag. Deforming creatures in the course of good ol' evolution is the only thing that gives the game any longevity but that also gets stale rather rapidly. Cute and Creepy parts just adds extra customisation options and Galactic Adventures was nice but didn't give the game enough steam to keep going.

I'm very penniless, so it's a good thing the sales carry on after Christmas. So far I've added Super Meat Boy, Portal, Deus Ex Collection and Lead and Gold to my roster of games. Lead and Gold is really suffering from some technical hitches though and the community are really killing off the fun: I don't know, something seems appealing to them about throwing dynamite at your spawn locations . . .

I've also hit another problem. I'm down to under 6GB on my main hard-drive which means no big game installations until Christmas when I'll be getting my brand new external drive.

A market test is quite far from a sale. Even if they had got it correct, betting $800, 000 is an asinine move on any game show and if they didn't want to lose a lot of money they should not have betted a lot of money. The contestants probably do not want to start a lawsuit either, as that would cost them more on top of what they've already lost.

Yes. Conspiracy theories as a whole are generally easy to debunk at the people who think the moon landings were fake offered some of the feeblest arguments.
