I use to play text-based rpgs all the time. I guess they were considered interactive fiction, they were single-player games, with no graphics, and completely browser based and free. Anyways, Does anyone have a link to any of these, or know of any?

We live in a society.

We call them MUDs. TELNET FTW!

ALL PRAISE YOUR SUPREME LORD CORBO

I believe #143 was making a text based RP on C++ or whatever.

You might wanna ask him for it.



fuck you all

@Moose: Not if they're single-player.

@Corbo: Why would you write IF in C++? There are dedicated languages for writing interactive fiction. Inform 7 comes to mind. It's rather epic, actually.

Myself, I'm currently playing (and epic failing) at a game called Savior-Faire.

im not a big fan of text base RPGs, people always try to make them in programing class, they seem really easy and not complex, real programers use graphics :)

i guess ive never really played one though, (except pimp quest on the calculator)

Dwarf fortress adventure mode.

Ez Pz

Edit: oh no wait. DF uses words and letters and ACSII to make "images" MUDs dont have any "images" at all do they? fffuuuuuu

Lies. Writing interactive fiction is just as hard as normal programming. Having done both, I would know.

@above: That's correct. IF/MUDs descripe the world around you verbally. DF adventure mode is a "rougelike", a totally unrelated type of game.

Now why the hell do I know that...

Text Based RPG's were never cool. Ever. You don't nuke things with ASCII characters.

Lies again. There are some very epic ones. Anything by Infocom, for example.

NudeRaider -- PSA: ASUS apparently decided their RMA department needs to "become profitable" and for a while now outright tries to scam customers. They were called out on it a year ago, promised to change, but didn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pMrssIrKcY so my recommendation: Stop buying ASUS, and if you already have and need something RMA'd, make sure to not let them bully you into paying.
