One for the old codgers here

Did anyone EVER complete all the text adventure games by Artic computing?

This one goes back to the mid 80's, at the time there was a firm pushing out text only adventure games, they were amazingly popular, for some odd reason they called them Adventure A, B, C, D and E.

I think D was Espionage Island, which I completed but I never managed any of the others, did you ? Or do you know of someone who did ?

My first encounter with "Adventure" was on the University Nord 100 (back in 1981/2). I completed one version on a BBC micro I think, but I can't even remember if it was by Arctic.

Of Doom 2 (now there's a game) I managed to complete every level starting with just the handgun, no armour (and no cheats) on the highest difficulty (that didn't resurrect the monsters). I did die a lot - some levels are virtually impossible starting like that.

Kaled.

I remember the text adventures on my BBC Micro. I tried for a while and it was at that point I began to realise the utter futility of life.

The original 'Elite'... now *there* was a game! I remember loading it up on an audio cassette drive at some really slow BAUD rate. Later, I got a 5.25 inch floppy drive and upgraded my Elite version!

Always preferred Scott Adams and Infocom text adventures. I have Zork I-III on my laptop! Must get around to playing them ...
