Default Classic Adventures Blog
I hope this is the right place to post it,
but I have just begun a new personal blog where I will be replaying and writing about classic adventure games, amongst other related topics.

http://armchairadventuregames.blogspot.com/

Fisrt up, is a classic BBC Micro text adventure - Merlin's Castle.



Please check it out and leave any comments - all feedback would be appreciated!

Thank you very much.

Robin

I'll read any blog that uses a screen from Police Quest as a banner.

...What am I saying, even at seven years old I hated this game.
I'm surprised it didn't put you off games.
This kind of game is exactly why I had no interest in computer games in the '80's.
No amount of relief at the end for "finally finishing it" could outweigh the aggravation of "playing" it.
