Oh why, why, couldn't they just go ahead and make the games? Stinking industry...instead of spewing out Laura Croft and Myst sequels, why don't they focus on making something good for a change?

Never mind me, I'm just a bitter  Ohioan.

Hi! Well if you're in the text mode, go for the Enchanter series. My favorite of the text-based. Then you will simply have to try Zork Grand Inquisitor. Of course that is just IMHO. :) I modified because I hit the post button before I made my smilie. Not that anyone cares, but I felt the need to put...

I was able to get ZGI to run under XP.  Mine asks for disk 1, just like you, but my PC recognizes it.  It usually asks for disk 1, if I try to load a saved game from disk 2 (when I know that disk 2 is the spot in the game where I saved).  It ususally says something about not detecting some sort of m...

Just kind of funny in a cosmic sort of sense.

But hey, I teach first graders. What do I know, lol!

That is sad. :( My hypothesis is that Activision will probably come out with something for the 30th Anniversary of Zork in a few years (it sounds good on the packaging, gets the orginal players of the series to buy a piece of thier youth, etc. etc.); but probably won't do anything before then. (Take...

Oh that is frustrating.   Are you on the High or Low Installation? I found that my ancient (well, 97 model with windows 95.) computer runs the game better on the lower installation. Also for some unknown reason my computer got really bitter when I skipped a video segment...and it ended up not doing ...

Hey, good writing.

You're 15? Argh, I feel old...old...lol. Seriously, good fic.

I must admit, I like games where I feel immersed in the story.  Titanic: Adventure Out of Time is a good example of that as well as ZGI (I haven't had the honor of playing Nemisis yet.) Where you feel like you're actually there...I think the highest compliment one could pay a game is "that woul...

Hey,

Very nice webpage. Maybe I'll submit a fic...if I get a chance in betweeen student teaching, lol.  I'll make time.

At least you had a good excuse. My excuse for poor math grades was...apathy, and the fact a good book was always more interesting than whatever it was my teachers were droning about.

Ah, I wax nostolgic...

If I had computer games on my calculator, my math grades would have been even more abysmal than they were, lol!
