Re: New site name?
The most important thing is to keep the Classic Adventures part, since the site doesn't do very much modern IF
Just concerning this: To me, any primarily text-based adventure game is a 'classic' adventure. The time it was released does not even come into it, it's all about the style which is ...

These are two observations, but they don't combine into a clear objection. So I feel I have to ask: So?

Re: New site name?
Talking about logo ideas, what about a house, visually cut open to reveal a winding path/twisty little passages inside and probably a guy following such a passage holding a lantern?

I think that's a good point – the intention and the intended target audience.Alastair wrote:As far as I'm concerned M25! is intended as a joke adventure, it's not a very good joke but it still qualifies as a text adventure.

Re: M25!
Looking at the description, the screenshot and the solution, I'd say "Adventure" is by far the best genre classification you can give to this piece of software (under the premise of calling it a game). The player is presented with a location description and a command prompt. Inputs are passed to and ...

The *Quest games do have a parser interface, though. They should be included.
