Design updated. Let me know what you think or what else I could add.
When you say "text adventure" do you mean strictly text, or like Mystery House (which is text/graphical, I guess?)... Either way, if you have the patience, I'd be willing to check it out, having done my own silly (and small) text adventure game, inspired by Sierra games that was done in QBASIC, and then compiled by an ancient version of PowerBasic entitled Final Soul, so I have a weak spot for those old text adventure games!joek0 wrote:Hi! I'm pretty new to this forum. I was introduced to Sierra through the LSL series. This got me interested in other sierra adventures. I am also a fan of text adventure games. I was wondering if people would be interested in seeing a text adventure remake of a sierra game. I am thinking of doing the KQ games as I have the novels in the 4th edition KQ Compendium for reference. I would start with KQ1 and do the game in the TADS engine.
Like Zork and other Infocom adventure games. I am a huge fan of the old z-machine text adventure games.Tawmis wrote:When you say "text adventure" do you mean strictly text, or like Mystery House (which is text/graphical, I guess?)...

I say do it! If you do, and you don't have a website, I would be more than happy to host them for you on Larry Laffer.net.joek0 wrote:Like Zork and other Infocom adventure games.

Yeah, awesome - I love the idea. I've got a stalled project going the opposite direction (from text adventure to graphical) - but I think I recognize you from sciprogramming so you might already know about itjoek0 wrote:Like Zork and other Infocom adventure games.
