Re: Clicking link after unsuccessful search sometimes gives 403 error
Yes, it is the same issue. The space is not correctly encoded in the URI and therefore, some security module of the webserver blocks access.

Re: ADRIFT platforms
Don't forget to list the minimum version of DirectX required (and maximum version supported)! That's essential information ;) In all honesty, though, how large do you think the group of people on the one hand interested in text adventures, but on the other hand unaware that pre-2000 games may not "n...

Re: Twine games?
Since a number of participants to this thread remarked not being familiar with the subject in question, let me try and explain a further distinction. I'd say there are two different kinds of games in question there. 1. "Classic" CYOA type games. You have a paragraph of text (or three paragraphs, or ...

Re: Not a text adventure...?
I confirm it's a board game conversion, exactly adapting the original. Pretty cool game. It does contain a number of typical text adventure elements; the main stepping stones towards each cases solution being textual riddles, language/word play etc. Though I agree, depending on the definition of tex...
