Three classic free text adventure games from the early 1980s and some extremely frightening ActionScript make, well, this. You can play all three full games in Flash. Save and restore functions are included.

Hopefully it's good for at least a little nostalgia!

"Excellent!"

Great work. I can imagine the tedium of having to program this, so thanks for the effort. I remember playing this game as a kid in the mid-eighties on either my dad's Macintosh or PS/2. Good Times... This is a wonderful program to engage children in an interactive literary experience. Not only is the child reading, but the story unfolds by interacting with the computer via a keyboard, as opposed to a controller. As wonderful as modern, instant-gratification games are at exercising hand-eye coordination and even spatial reasoning, old-old school games like these exercise more "right brain" faculties like imagination - imagining what the land of Great Underground Empire is like. (I always thought that, for what it was, the lore of Zork was pretty awesome).

I love text adventures, and this must've taken forever for you to code! Great job man. I like the comedic bits, like this:

>throw knife at troll
The troll, who is remarkably coordinated, catches the nasty knife and eats it hungrily. Poor troll, he dies from an internal hemorrhage and his carcass disappears in a sinister black fog.

"OMG"

Wow, I have been screwing around with different versions of the Zorks for so long, and it was always right here under my nose. 2004??? Holy shit man! This is an amazing flash, and deserves more 5s than I could ever possibly give it.
