Not quite. More like the classic PC games like Zork or the like. Or, for a reference for people who were born on this side of the NES, like a text-based MUD. Actually, that's very similar since there's a limited menu of commands.On 2006-08-04 21:09, DarthMegatron wrote:
Thanks, that's awesome! What's a Text Adventure. A friend told me about them. Are they kind of like those old Choose-your-path Books? I have a classic Transformers and Indiana Jones one. For example, do you want so-and-so to this or this, if so turn to page x or page y, etc. And there are multiple different outcomes throughout the book.
In the PS text adventures, basically you get a room description. You can move to adjoining rooms through available exits, pick up items, use items, attack monsters, and so on. The only "graphic" component is the picture of your character and occasionally...I think...a picture of a monster. Been too long since I played one to remember.
Oh, and Naflign translated and converted both "Nei's Adventure" and "Amia'a Adventure" to be played in English on the PC (in several variations for several OSes, actually) (Amia is Anna in the Japanese PS2, btw. Ironically, Amy's original name is Anne, so they got flipped as well as slightly altered). I have no idea if they're available on the web, still, but they used to be.
