. . . in the Infocom classic The Lurking Horror!
Many people have played the Zork series and the superlative Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but who else has played this little gem insipired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft?
This might be my favorite Infocom game. Lovecraft's horror translates well in the text adventure, and the game is loaded with goofy possibilities. There is no greater joy than attacking an urchin with a crowbar, only to have the little bastard kick your ass with a switchblade. :lol
These games rock. Nothing beats sitting at a computer trying to crack tough mind-benders by typing in old-school commands, hand drawing a map to correspond to the text directions, and using the awesome power of IMAGINATION.
Many of these games can be played online for free here!. Just make sure to play The Lurking Horror and try to defeat the MAINTENANCE MAN on his floor waxer. >=)
