Hi Nick The easiest interactive fiction game I know is photopia inwitch you barely need any puzzle solving ability at all. It's good to get you started with the concept. Also for practice on coordinating yourself in an if game there is a mase that you can wonder around that you don't really have to get through so you can practice getting around with that. Also I suggest trying straight forward games when it comes to moving. In some games moving say northeast and north will bring you to the same place, but in others you'll never find that happening. I know that kind of thing really got me annoyed when I first started interactive fiction. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nicol Oosthuizen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2006 1:17 AM Subject: [Audyssey] a very basic text adventure
