What's an adventure? What's a Quest?

[Dark Jaguar]

Techniclly OB1, you never did proove console style adventure came before PC adventure. All you did was dispute that text adventures are even games. I have to say that since they do in fact have actual gameplay, goals, puzzles, and so on, they ARE in fact games. They are also adventures. So what if the results were only shown in a command prompt? They were still very hard yet very fun games. You did have to solve puzzles, find objects, find out where and how to use them, and in the end, solve some sort of last mystery to end the game. A command prompt can't claim to do that. Any extrapolating you do to show that it's "just a bunch of responses, I can get those from a little batch file" is silly because, simply put, ALL games are "just a bunch of responses", using something a bit more complecated than batch files yes, but in the end they are all just written code responding to user input.

Well, this was fun, but I have to say I'm stepping out now. I hope that my apparent dedication to my point wasn't taken too seriously. I never meant to seem so very stubborn over matters that don't matter at all. As for you OB1, name calling isn't very nice when there's no indication of you ever stopping. You do it all the time. I mean, you seem to be taking this Andy Koffman impersination too far. He died of cancer man, that's what happens to ALL people who imitate him, they get CANCER! Look at Tom Green! He got testicular cancer! First it's lungs, needed to talk all that talk, then the balls needed to get the courage to do that, the next cancer victim is going to get something even worse. Do you REALLY want to be the victim of "cancer of the eternal soul" or whatever F.A.T.E. has in store for you?
