[Coco] Anyone still play text adventure games?

[Aaron Banerjee]

Once in a blue moon I'll play one -- mostly for nostalgia.  I too  
liked "Bedlam."  There were two John Olson games I translated to Coco  
BASIC decades ago -- "Gym Adventure" and "Ship Adventure."   I also  
put out a version of "Quest" (can't remember who wrote it) for the  
Coco.  It wasn't a true text adventure -- sort of more of a text based  
video game, and I had to make a few modifications because of that  
fancy 64 column screen the Model I/III used...
