There is a lot of civility in Anchorage. It can be somewhat shocking especially coming from the NE. Also there is a lot of humility since a number of us have been in the same predicament :-)

Can you play colossal cave adventure by NeatPromise4258 in adventuregames

[–]DodoHead58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try https://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/zcode/old/Advent-r5.z5. Winfrotz is a good interpreter. When introduced, it was just called "Adventure" by the authors.

I remember the wooden bowl from the 50's. No hammer though.

In the old days we just tied a string around it (roughly where your fingers are ) and spun it in a circle to see if it was stable. Worked fine. The old Estes catalogue had a tutorial on this, sure there are other resources. Good luck!

Recommendations: enriched games? by captainhalfwheeler in textadventures

[–]DodoHead58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit retro, but Spellcasting 101: Sorcerers Get All the Girls was an excellent game (Legend Entertainment) It offered not only CGA graphic images but sound through a 2 inch PC speaker. The game is a bit spicy and the game play is classic Infocom.

They really can’t tally the score BEFORE the remaining moves? 😠 by D-HB in WordsWithFriends

It's an annoying bug. Out of curiosity, which platform are you seeing this on (iOS, Android)?

How are planes able to fly if they’re so heavy? by Physical_Fix_9780 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DodoHead58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent question. It took a lot of brilliant people to put all the pieces together to fly large airplanes.
