yep im a parser fan myself and I was miffed about point and click for a while
but man the games are still wicked fun, in truth infocom and all the text based advents as well as parser advents (well thats text urmm redundancy check kal) all helped me in vocab and think, like reading
where modern games as u even say, just cod crap, mindless point shoot gibs
zzzz
cs source zzz
team fort2 zzz
cod bf zzz
none interest me
not that first person shooters suck one of my all time favs is still system shock 2 NO NOT BIOSHOCK spit spit
again i believe but cant be sure my first game ever c64 aka pc wise, was WISHBRINGER from infocom, text based came with a wish stone .. fun for ages
either that or zork I cant really recall which i played first
in terms of which game game i played first, collectovision games, and one of my fav intellivision games was like that movie where u shrink into a person and have to fight infections in the body or it dies, was WICKED FUN still cant find the game anywhere..
advent wise though kq1 was indeed my first (not counting text based) I did play mystery house but at the time didnt know it was even a sierra team game, as in the same people made it..
again like zork only with graphics
god i love infocom games,... one had a hedgemaze and a murder plot, having a huge estate, gawwd i need to remember the names of these games
ahh SUSPECT
so many great games
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspect_%28video_game%29and the items the infocom games came with were called FEELIES!
each game had one
btw the first sq point and clicks turned out great imo,
catch the energizer bunny, float around in the mall, turn bad guy into icecubes so he cant reform , have a wicked narrator haha anyway..
parser lover but do love MOST point n clicks MINUS the ones that let you HOLD A KEY to see everything you can touch, grr hope POS doesnt do what broken sword did.. pleease nooo
ack
its like in some advents when the only objects you can take are so obvious they stick out in color or form from other objects just kinda with a HERE PICK ME UP or INTERACT WITH ME sign.. grr again
