Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Looking for textadventures for beginners
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.
It can be downloaded from here:

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
