This makes me want to dig out my old Infocom text adventures.  Or maybe Zork.

Late 1980s DOS games that should have been made

About the author

Hi! I'm a tech guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS and science of all stripes. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.

I have opinions. So do you. You want to share them with me. I would like to do likewise. Please don't expect a platform for proselytizing that will go unchecked and unchallenged, though. Contact me via the clicky thingies under my banner.

The commenting rules are simple: don't piss me off. This rule has worked for me for a decade; I have never found a need for any other rule, because any other rules leads to rules-lawyering. Just remember -- this is my property, not yours.

    Do not doubt the powers of the RRPG. It’ll suck you in with 150 hours of playtime and stat building where you get to constantly improve your abilities, like to do a jumping splits while tending bar.

    As for the bunker, holy freaking crap. That’s too awesome. I’m imagining Return to Castle Wolfenstein reading that. You know, I almost wish I was living in Europe so I could say I might have a WW2 bunker in my garden. Well, not that the house I’m looking at has a lot of any speakable size or anything, but you never know, maybe there’s some artifacts of the valley, like, uh, I dunno, the lost grave of the first Queen Annapolisa.
