The last text adventure I played was Gateway to Homeworld 2. That was a great game. I've been looking for it. If I could port that to my phone, I'd never get any work done.

You're right. The line you quoted comes across more negatively than I had intended. But really, it is the TRS-80 crowed who is going to enjoy this game. That being said, I was a bit disappointed that my favorite from the Apple II+ era were not included: Jason and the Goldon Fleece (stupid storm). Either way, a nice pack of games.

Either way, a nice pack of games.

"if you do not remember the 1980’s ... then you will not enjoy this game. This is a game for the older crowd ..." Why can't the younger generation like these types of games - especially ones who are not really into FPS but are perhaps interested in literary material / interactive fiction - perhaps in the minority but there are certain younger generations out there who are getting hooked ... But thanks for whacking my app up for review anyway ;) therealeasterbunny In regard to Adventure PDA, bit disappointed that it starts of with a negative comment of …

Well, actually you probably do. I can't tell you how many hours we wasted (spent) playing games like Jasona and the Golden Fleece or Kabal on the old Apple II+. I still remember in Jason there was a part where your ship gets lost in a storm. The map for that was insane to get through. :) Next up, I am trying to find a version of Royal Fizzbin!

Shades of ye olde Infocomm games I used to squander endless hours on while latched onto my C64. Somewhere I have an old book with a compilation of the maps for various adventure games from that era, so it will be interesting to see if any of those are listed, just in case I get tired of penciling out maps...

As much as I would like to say I got this one from you, I never use Twitter. Plus, I have had it for a few weeks now. :) But it is a really good game. Doug Sorry, SPM.
