A Mind Forever Voyaging

[Jayel]

The greatest game I've ever played, then gave up, then played again, then gave up again.

I've never seen a text adventure game with so much stuff going on in the game world. There were day/night cycle, people following their daily schedules, live news cast, fully functioning public transit, and a fantastic premise to boot.

I give it 7 stars out of my 4 star rating.

I took a star off because the vastness of the game world can be very disorienting.

The only text adventure I willingly started was Arthur and because it has graphics....

The positive thing about text adventures is that there are no graphics which could be annoying, eye-melting. To this time the technic was only so far that 16 colors had been possible. So far the ideology of Infocom really paid out to only make interactive fiction until the bitter end, it makes them timeless.

I personally find them also more fun then some with graphics. Imagination can do a lot more.

But I never got myself over to try out really more.

This should really a good one to start, it has really high critical acclaim and it's the work which Steve Meretzky is most proud of.

Has anyone played Leather Goddess of Phobos 2? I wonder myself why most people hate it! I love it, at least the beginning in Atomic City...

That game was crazy. I think it went by the longer title of Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2: Gas Pump Girls Meet the Pulsating Inconvenience from Planet X sometimes. I remember you could be Lydia, Zeke or Barth. There was some old film footage of a rocket taking off when you were Zeke and chatted up the girl at the gas station. I never understood that, playing when I was 6.

Eh, that was when you, ehm, fucked her.

But it also works when you talk to the fortune teller........

I think there should be different things seen when you play with Lydia, I didn't tried it out.

And why is no alien sex allowed? I never saw an option for that! Hm, Barth has just inhaled too much peace in some ways....
