The Best Websites for Downloading and Playing Classic and New Text Adventure Games The Best Websites for Downloading and Playing Classic and New Text Adventure Games Before computers could handle graphical games, there were text adventure games. The games are interactive stories, so playing a text adventure game is like being part of a book in which you affect the story. Text adventure games are also referred to as “interactive fiction.” Interactive Fiction (IF) is actually a more accurate term for text adventure games, because these games can cover any topics, such as romances or comedies, not just adventures. They can also simulate real life. Even though computers can now handle intensely graphical games, playing text adventure games can still be fun. It’s like reading a good book and getting lost in the universe of the story, except you become the hero or heroine and affect the ending of the story. We’ve collected some links to websites where you can download classic and new text adventure games or play them online. There are also some free tools available for creating your own text adventure games. We even found a documentary about the evolution of computer adventure games and some articles about the art and craft of developing the original text adventure games. Web-Adventures Web-Adventures[1] allows you to play classic text adventure games online for free in your browser. You don’t need to install any applets or plugins or enable JavaScript. You can even play some of these games in a browser on mobile devices. The very first text adventure game from the late 1970’s, Colossal Cave Adventure, is available on this site. Text adventure games are good for developing children’s reading comprehension and imagination. Web-Adventures has a special page listing text adventure games especially good for children[2]. Adventure Games Live Adventure Games Live[3] offers new adventure games you can play online for free. Java is not required to play these games, but there is a menu-driven interface and graphics. Online Games Network – Adventure Games The Adventure Games[4] page on the Online Games Network site contains a collection of links to sites offering classic and new text adventure and role-playing games. Fupa[5] offers new, free online text adventure games playing using Flash. They scour the web for the very best games and update their selection daily. FreeArcade.com FreeArcade.com[6] offers several text adventure games, including the classic Scott Adams text adventures, such as Adventureland, which now has hints and solutions. Adventureland was Adams’s first program and is a slightly scaled-down version, personal computer version of the original Colossal Cave Adventure program, which was originally written for a mainframe computer. All Flash games, Shockwave games, and Java games on the site are free to play. Humbug Humbug[7] is a free text adventure game you can download. It was originally a shareware game which required you to register to get maps and online hints. However, it is now available for free in the public domain, and comes complete with the maps and hints. There is also a full step-by-step solution available on the site, as well as two other text adventure games and a Tetris clone, called Blox. Play Zork Online for Free Zork is an interactive, text adventure game written in the late 1970’s. It had an interesting story line and the mystery of both the plot and figuring out how to play the game. The about.com[8] site gives you some tips and tricks for playing the game, some commands needed to get through the game, and a walk-through should you get stuck. Once you’ve read the tips and tricks and commands for use in the game, visit the Zork[9] site and begin playing. Memoir Text Adventure Funny-Games.biz offers a text adventure game, called Memoir Text Adventure[10], which is a simulation of life. The goal of the game is to reach age 130. During the game, you have relationships with virtual people, apply for a cool job, etc. Make decisions about the direction your virtual life will take by clicking colored buttons with your mouse. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Remake Do you have your towel? If not, you better get one. You can now play a remake of the original Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy[11] text adventure game from 1984, released by Infocom, programmed by Steve Meretzky, and plotted by Douglas Adams himself. This version of the game is a point-and-click game, but the interactivity level is high and there are two levels of difficulty. There are also two different versions you can play on BBC’s site: Edition 1[12] and Edition 2[13]. The Interactive Fiction Archive The Interactive Fiction (IF) Archive[14] is home to IF games, development tools, game solutions, and programming examples contributed by the interactive fiction community. You can also access the Usenet newsgroups rec.arts.int-fiction and rec.games.int-fiction from this site. iFiction iFiction[15] offers text adventure games you can play online. The site itself is set up in the text adventure style. Click “Games” to access the available games and “newspaper” for more information. Haunted House Haunted House[16] is an interactive fiction game written for the TRS-80. This site allows you to download TRS-80 emulators for the PC and Mac and the Haunted House TRS-80 game ROM. They also provide instructions for playing the game and a game solution. Free Text Adventure Software Games This site offers free text adventure software games[17] for download[18]. These games were written from 1988 to 1992, but were updated in 2006 to run on Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows XP. We tested one of the games in Windows 7 and it seemed to work. The games incorporate some features that were innovative at the time they were written, such as some games being divided into organized windows, an on-screen dictionary list, on-screen help, and auto-mapping, where the computer automatically drew a map for you on the screen in a special map window. Solutions[19] for the games are also available. The “Explore” Adventure Games The “Explore” Adventure Games[20] site offers a suite of text adventure games you can play online. When you start the “Explore” game, you must pick an adventure. Cave, Mine, and Castle are original games written in the “Explore Adventure Language” by the person running the site. Haunt is a clone of the Haunted House games written for the TRS-80, mentioned earlier in this article. Porky’s is a game written by someone else using the same “Explore Adventure Language.” It’s inspired by the movie of the same name and contains adult content and language. You can also play “Explore” on Android phones. The Colossal Cave Adventure Game Page The Colossal Cave Adventure[21] was the first adventure game written for a mainframe computer in the 1970’s and released in as “Adventure” in 1977, a year before Scott Adams wrote his Adventure game for personal computers. The game was based on the real-life Colossal Cave in Kentucky, but was also different. You become part of an ongoing fantasy story, exploring the Colossal Cave. Different versions are available for download[22], some requiring special interpreters to play the game. CASA – The Classic Adventures Solution Archive The Classic Adventures Solution Archive (CASA)[23] site is all about old, classic text adventure games. The site covers all 8-bit and 16-bit formats, and all games from the earliest titles to modern, current interactive fiction. However, it’s emphasis is on older titles. You can find information about the games, solutions, maps, hints, reviews, and other useful tidbits. CASA does NOT offer games for download, except for a few in which bugs were fixed. Creating Text Adventure Games The following sites contain programs and tools that allow you to create your own text adventure games. Some of the sites also offer downloads of games created with the tool they’re promoting. Adventure Game Studio (AGS) Adventure Game Studio (AGS)[24] allows you to create your own text adventure game for free. The AGS Editor is a Windows-based IDE allowing you to import graphics, write game scripts, and test and debug your game in one program. Your game is compiled into a single .exe file for easy distribution. AGS runs on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7. If you’re still running Windows 2000 or XP, you need to install .NET Framework 2.0 (32-bit[25] or 64-bit[26]), if you don’t already have it installed. However, people don’t need .NET Framework to run the games you write with AGS. Games created with AGS[27] are also available for free download on the site. The Text Adventure Development System (TADS) The Text Adventure Development System (TADS)[28] is a powerful tool for authoring interactive fiction games. The language it uses will be familiar to anyone who has programmed in C, C++, or JavaScript. It contains a full-featured suite of development tools, including text editing and debugging tools. TADS allows you to add graphics, animations, sound effects, fancy text formatting, among other features, to your games. It is completely free to use and free to distribute the TADS interpreter. Quest Quest[29] is a free, open source program that allows you to create text adventure games, like Zork or The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, without knowledge of programming. You can also create gamebooks (like Choose Your Own Adventure books).

    III. Here Be Dragons: the (pre)history of the adventure game The past is like a broken mirror, as you piece it together you cut yourself. Your image keeps shifting and you change with it. MAX PAYNE 2: THE FALL OF MAX PAYNE At the end of the Middle Ages, Europe’s thousand year sleep – or perhaps thousand year germination – between antiquity and the Renaissance, wondrous things were happening. High culture, long dormant, began to stir again. The spirit of adventure grew once more in the human breast. Great cathedrals rose, the spirit captured in stone, embodiments of the human quest for understanding. But there were other cathedrals, cathedrals of the mind, that also embodied that quest for the unknown. They were maps, like the fantastic, and often fanciful, Mappa Mundi – the map of everything, of the known world, whose edges both beckoned us towards the unknown, and cautioned us with their marginalia – “Here be dragons.” (Bradbury & Seymour, 1997, p. 1357)1 At the start of the twenty-first century, the exploration of our own planet has been more or less completed2. When we want to experience the thrill, enchantment and dangers of past voyages of discovery we now have to rely on books, films and theme parks. Or we play a game on our computer, preferably an adventure game, as the experience these games create is very close to what the original adventurers must have felt. In games of this genre, especially the older type adventure games, the gamer also enters an unknown labyrinthine space which she has to map step by step, unaware of the dragons that might be lurking in its dark recesses.

The Strong Unearths Rare Atari Footage through Digital Preservation Efforts While digitizing U-Matic tapes (an analog videocassette format) in The Strong’s Atari Coin-Op Division collection, museum curators and library staff recently discovered a wide range of never-before-seen footage—including video of Atari’s offices and manufacturing lines, its arcade cabinet construction practices, and company-wide staff celebrations. The footage also includes gameplay of many of Atari’s popular titles, as well as video concepts for games never released. The video collection offers an unprecedented look at the inner-workings of Atari at its height at a time that it helped to lay the groundwork for the modern video game industry. The museum’s digitization efforts are made possible, in part, by a grant from the Rochester Regional Library Council. Screenshot from unearthed Atari footage.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    I. Introduction This is it. This is your story. It all begins here... Auron (FINAL FANTASY X) Compared to film and especially to books, computer games are a very young medium. The first computer game SPACEWAR! dates from 1962. It was programmed to run on a DEC PDP-11. As these computers were quite costly2, it was not until the commercial breakthrough of the integrated circuit (IC) at the beginning of the 1970s that commercial computer games became a viable option3. At first, they could only be found in Arcade halls, but by the early 1980s they had also found their way into our homes. Nowadays, of course, we cannot imagine a world without computer games, a fact that made Nicholson Baker recently write: “I’d never held a video-game controller until last fall. Which is a pretty sad admission, as if I’d said in 1966 that I’d never watched ‘Bonanza’ or heard a song by the Rolling Stones” (2010, p. 53). Between the early 1980s and today, computer games have come a long way. If we look back at game history we can see that the original two categories of computer games — i.e. visual action based games that stem from SPACEWAR!, and maze-like story games that started with the 1975-76 game THE COLOSSAL CAVE ADVENTURE — grew into a multitude of games and game genres. In the beginning the maze-like story games seemed to remediate literature (as interactive fiction or electronic novels), particularly since they only consisted of text. When graphics were added (especially full motion video), their descendants were seen as a remediation of film (interactive cinema)4.

  • Creating Video Games for the Visually Impaired Anthony Russo, Neal
    Creating Video Games for the Visually Impaired Anthony Russo, Neal Sacks, & Steven Vandal WPI IQP MBJ 0007 Professor Brian Moriarty April 12, 2012 Introduction The video game industry has expanded rapidly in recent years, growing from a 9.5 billion dollar industry in 2007 to a 25.1 billion dollar industry in 2010. This growth is due to the common interest that almost all Americans now hold in games, as a seventy-two percent of all americans play video games on a regular basis (ESA). However, because games rely heavily on impressive graphics and are primarily an immersive visual experience, very few games are made with the blind or the visually impaired in mind. In the 1970s when video games first emerged, it was virtually impossible to create a game that did not involve some sort of visuals. This is mainly due to a lack of technology, as almost all computers, games, and electronic speakers and displays could only output crude, pixilated visuals and rough, synthesized sound. However, technology has steadily improved to the point where games that do not need visuals are a possibility. Games for the visually impaired are an untapped industry, especially with the technology that exists today. By conducting interviews with the visually impaired we discovered what types of games the visual impaired prefer, what they would enjoy to play, and what ideas they have for developing these games. The History of Video Games for the Visually Impaired There are many games that can be played by the visually impaired. Interactive fiction and other text-based games have been popular for a long time, though to a lesser extent in recent years.

  • Somewhere Nearby Is Colossal Cave Examining Will Crowther's Original "Adventure" in Code and in Kentucky
    Jerz 1 Somewhere Nearby is Colossal Cave Examining Will Crowther's Original "Adventure" in Code and in Kentucky Dennis G. Jerz Digital Humanities Quarterly Table of Contents Introduction Part I: Colossal Cave in Code Part II: Colossal Cave in Kentucky Coda: Adjusting the "Adventure" Timeline Introduction "Colossal Cave Adventure" was not the first computer game; nor was it the first game to accept textual commands, nor the first program to emulate something resembling conversation.1 Still, by using terse, evocative prose to simulate the exploration of a well-defined environment, and later by sharing the source code in order to let other programmers build upon his work, programmer Will Crowther set in motion a series of events that demonstrated the transformative cultural potential of the emerging internet. “[L]ike any significant program, Adventure was expressive of the personality and environment of the authors” (Levy 133). We know this environment was informal, collaborative, noncommercial, and as one might expect, highly technical. Yet "Adventure" has remained mysterious, in part due to Crowther's self-admitted fuzziness of memory when it comes to dates, and to his personal Jerz 2 choice to keep a low profile.2 Little evidence has been available to counter common but faulty assumptions – for instance, that Crowther's original "Adventure" was a sparse map-like simulation, and that all the magic and gaming elements were supplied by Don Woods. Inaccuracies are often perpetuated in published accounts, due to the inaccessibility of two
