Steve Meretsky

[Viewtiful-Chris]

Who agrees with me that Steve Meretsky is Infocom's best author? I just started playing Planetfall and WOW, is it amazing.

I've been on a text-adventure kick recently. Super Nintendo ROMs were getting a little old.

[Viewtiful-Chris]

200 Datapoints says nobody here knows what Infocom is.

They ONLY kicked off the entire adventure genre... and are therefore the ancestors of games like Zelda and Monkey Island!

It seems obvious nobody here also plays PMOG...

What the hell is wrong with you? There is no video, and it is only in the loosest sense a "game".

[Viewtiful-Chris]

Not surprisingly, he has nothing to say.

I think you mean...

"HEY EVERYBODY! LET'S HAVE A PARTY!"

Damn you, you are bringing back bad memories of your shitty 'flash.'
Mention any of them again, and I may go insane.

Yes. Actually, isn't that what ALL video games are?

What the hell is wrong with you?

Absolutely nothing, but I might ask you the same question.

There is no video.

Exactly what game are you talking about?

and it is only in the loosest sense a "game".

Again, what game? I thought this thread was about Steve Meretzky. A video game designer/author.

Oh haha. I hadn't realized that you were talking about me. See, there are these neat little things called "sleep" "school". I suggest you try them.

Also, I don't go over useless threads I posted in five days ago to see if anyone has replied to any of my posts. I doubt you do either.

[Kidlazarus]

Interactive fiction is a dying genre. No use trying to revive it, or even find someone (especially on Newgrounds) to have a intelligent conversation about it.

Didn't I mention Planetfall in the OP?

Sorry for jumping to conclusions, anyways.

But yes, Planetfall is a TEXT ADVENTURE. How can you call that a video game?

He was mostly involved in interactive fiction. Text-based interactive fiction. Not video games.

Mainly I get pissed off when people like you make very little reply and instead go MOVE THIS TO VIDEO GAMES.

How does it feel knowing every newgrounds user wants you to leave the site?

[Luke]

Chris, you understand that nobody likes you anymore right? Ever since Freezepop's Jem.
I think we have all thought so much less of you.

Who is he? I've never heard of him.

It doesn't, because I have gotten PMs from people who said they love me.

Asshole :D

Many of them I know from other websites, who also have Newgrounds accounts.

Besides, everyone who hates me is an alt :D

Well, yes, sorry for my ignorance. I just that that this thread was about Steve and all of the games he contributed in.

Sorry for jumping to conclusions, anyways.

meh

But yes, Planetfall is a TEXT ADVENTURE. How can you call that a video game?

Is it delivered through a computer?

He was mostly involved in interactive fiction. Text-based interactive fiction. Not video games.

ok

I'm just an intolerant asshole like the rest of your NG hate-fanbase :P

Yes, therefore it is a COMPUTER GAME, not a VIDEO GAME.

Besides that, you can play it just as easily any other way. Like by phone or handwriting.

That depends on what you think he is.

I think he is a genius and Infocom's best author.
