iPhone gets a text adventure game on Day One of the App Store
And it's something of a classic
Forget motion-sensing and touchscreen malarkey. What you want from a modern-day iPhone game is a proper text adventure, where you get to type GO NORTH, HIT TROLL WITH AXE, and LKHJ VSDJD.
(Okay, we're still having the odd problem with the iPhone's pop-up keyboard).
Anyway, iPhone has its first text adventure, and it's actually the first text adventure ever made.
It's listed as Advent on the App Store, but the screenshot calls it Adventure, and the product text points out that it's also known as Colossal Cave Adventure or just Colossal Cave. Hope that's clear.
Anyway, it's so old-skool that the only screenshot supplied on the App Store is the welcome screen, which says that the man responsible for the iPhone version is one Shawn P. Stanley.
Oh, and it's free. Kids, download this to see how gaming once was. Us old-timers killed hundreds of text-based monsters so that you could play motion-sensing Super Monkey Ball...
