Just going back to the original request, I wonder whether anyone has tried a text adventure game called Humbug. It's quite different in it's story line and plot from many which have been recently discussed on this list, but I've found it a lot of fun. It's puzzles are tricky but not ridiculous; they employ a logic which is recognisable from the real world; and it's fun. The game is played through a DOS box so screenreader navigation is required but using JAWS I've found it relatively easy.

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.
