Text adventure games

[ConnorCool]

Recently I played the brilliant Phantom of the Arcade games, and I thouroughly enjoyed them both. I was wondering if anybody new any sites that have any other text based games on, because I can't seem to find any.

and for discussion's sake, do you enjoy text based games? what's the best one you have played?

Good things to try in a search engine are "interactive fiction" and "infocom."

Glad you enjoyed the games, by the way!

If you want online MUDs, Iron Realms has some really deep worlds that always have plenty of users. Fair warning though, it's addictive as hell.

I tend to like MUDs better than regular text games..

My favorite so far would have to be the Discworld MUD, simply because it's fucking DISCWORLD!

The Cabal and Lost Pig were pretty good. Cabal is more of a story, whereas LP is more of a game. You can tell LP is well-written -- you have a large vocabulary of commands (especially the silly ones) to work with, and you play through the eyes of a half-wit Orc, which itself is entertaining.
