sara you probably should wait for the eamon games.
there are a couple stand alone ones
http://eamon-guild.blogspot.com
there should be links to some stand alones.
I have been a beta tester for the deluxe games.
And I can tell you that there are almost no bugs left for me to flesh out.
So, as long as frank the dev on this gets ready and there is no extra
stuff to do then there should in theory be a public release soon
though I have just talked to him and he is snowed under with various projects.
The main reason I have stopped gaming in general for text games is
the fact I don't have dos.
yes you can run it with a screenreader or sapi or something but if
you need to review things and in fact if you need to view stuff
without automatic speech of stuff like in dos it detracts from the
gameplay because you have to do a lot of stuf outside of the game
world and so can't amerse yourself as fully.
that could just be me as I was in dos for ages before windows came out.

Hi list
I'd like to try some textadventures. I have tried to play a few
already, but I always stop playing because I tend to have the same
problems with these games over and over. I get lost on the game map,
the puzzles are just obscure, I have to play syntax guessing or I
just don't know what the game wants me to do. In some games you just
get a general goal but you don't really know what your next step
should be. You wander around rather aimlessly.
So, I know that some of you already played quite a few
textadventures and that some of you also hate obscure and illogical
puzzles and syntax guessing just like me. Maybe some of you can
recommend some beginner games for me. I really want to solve one of
these games without a solution one day. And if I get some practice
with easy games I maybe can do some more difficult ones later too.
The genre is not that important. I like fantasy themed games, but I
also would try other genres happily when the game is good.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
Best regards
Sarah
