This is the Conversation Forum for Adventure Games Update Forum: A12675585 - Adventure Games >> Subject: A12675585 - Adventure Games Posted Aug 20, 2006 by Bagpuss This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 21 Indeed? I'd better make sure of what I'm doing then. Fact is I wrote the entry afresh, rather than altering the original, but I will check with Jimster. Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: A12675585 - Adventure Games Posted Aug 22, 2006 by Kate Schechter (Back on the right side of the pond) This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 22 Heya guys... Bagpuss kindly asked my input on replacing my article with his, which is not a problem for me. However, in thinking about it a moment or two longer, I thought it might be better for my original article to be expanded, but still centered on Interactive Fiction/Text Adventure games, with links to/from the broader Adventure game article. I'd even be willing to do the expansion of my article. All this free time on my hands and all. And I'll confess, there's just a smidge of emotional nostsalgia for my very first edited guide entry Just my two cents worth Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: A12675585 - Adventure Games Posted Aug 22, 2006 by Gnomon has the right to say: 'Thus far shalt thou go, and no further' This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 23 A291412 - Kate's original entry A12675585 - Bagpuss's proposed replacement Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: A12675585 - Adventure Games Posted Aug 22, 2006 by Gnomon has the right to say: 'Thus far shalt thou go, and no further' This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 24 I propose that Bagpuss attempts to incorporate elements of Kate's entry/style into the new entry, adds Kate to the author list and submits the lot to the Update Forum. Since Kate has a lower researcher number, she'll be listed first in the author list, eventually when the update goes through. How does that sound?

I should have done this to start with.

It later became known as "Colossal Cave Adventure" to distinguish it from the genre of Adventure games in general, but its real name was just Adventure. I remember paying £40 for it for my Apple ][.

I was unsure if the link to Hitchhikers adventure wouldn't better point to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/gamehistory.shtml, rather than http://www.douglasadams.com/creations/infocomjava.html but since the second does itself point to my favoured site for the adventure (which can be saved, a bit of a bonus you'll agree) it probably doesn't need changing Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: A12675585 - Adventure Games Posted Sep 3, 2006 by Gnomon has the right to say: 'Thus far shalt thou go, and no further' This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 34 You should continue the conversation at the Update Forum, and not here.

Good point with the links though. Conversation list Conversation list
