    And if you want to get really geeky, go ahead and pick up a copy of Inform -- an IF authoring system. (IMHO, Inform is the *best* system, but that's open to debate...)

    Not all games require the use of a 128Meg NVIDIA card. Something that has been lost in todays wiz-bang game world is game content, and enjoyment.

    OOTP4 (Out Of The Park Baseball) is a great example of this. Solid game. Miminal graphics. Rabid fanbase. Solid fun.

    Don't fall for all of the eye-candy that is out there!

  3. A few more notes. by seebs · · Score: 4, Interesting
    First: see also Usenet's rec.arts.int-fiction.

    Second: Note that you can play at least the zcode games on pretty much ANYTHING. Windows. Mac. Palm. You name it... I have a game in the comp, and it has *one* problem on my Handera (PalmOS) PDA. Most of them probably work fine.
