Which reminds me... It's always important to plug textfiles.com.

This is weird. Nostalgia must be in the air.
JUST THE OTHER DAY I downloaded Vice and was playing some old Commodore-64 games. M.U.L.E. and Raid on Bungling Bay hold up surprisingly well.
My 800MHz computer is capable of running the emulator at 350 times normal speed. The games are unplayable, but it gives me a weird sense of satisfaction... like, answering the pleas of that 1983 version of me asking for "a faster C64".

I played DIg Dig in New Braunfels the other day. Does that count for anything?

I like the Scott Adams Text Adventures the best. Still play them.
"You are in a room"
-> GO RIGHT
"You are in another room"
-> GET FLASHLIGHT
"OK"
What loads of fun!

I liked the old first-person-shooter-text-adventure games.

"You see three demons shooting fireballs at you. There are exits to the west and south. Wait, now an ogre has appeared at the south exit, and has begun lobbing grenades at you. There is a BFG2000 on the ground."

"Too late! You have been hit by several fireballs and grenades. You have died. Play again? y/n"
