And don't patronise me I don't "live in the past " I have played a lot of modern text adventures and enjoyed them immensely. Over snd out.

We will agree to disagree then. And silly story lines? There are plenty of those in modern text adventures too. They are somewhat akin to people who always use cheap adolescent emojis. You love them of course.

I am afraid I cannot agree with the removal of mazes in these games; modernisation to suit the millennials' propensity for goldfish-like attention spans should be avoided. Preservation is fair; modeish hijacking isn't.

Sorry Alastair I did agree with you although I probably should have made myself clearer. The thing that makes me laugh is the fact they say that this is temporary. If they are predicating the restoration of how things were on some kind of granularity whereby they systematically examine hordes of Web ...

Which is an unnecessary censure too many. In a country where you now have to provide a photograph and an email address to withdraw euro currency we are moving away from the thin end of the totalitarian wedge.

Just put the word "crisis" after any issue and you can ride rough shod over the remains ...

Why not block the entire World Wide Web? You can't be too careful eh?

Ifdb.org has been restricted.

Yes I had thought of the work around. It is more the principle of the thing and what they might get up to next. O2 for instance block archive.org unless you request access and can prove you are over eighteen years of age. A rather odd conceit considering much of what they seem to consider admissible.

It is extremely annoying that one cannot download any software from the above web site from the U.K. at the moment. To quote the www.gov.uk web site:

Due to the UK Online Safety Act, all games on the IF Archive are currently unavailable to users in the United Kingdom.

This broad restriction is ...

The version on spectrumcomputing.co.uk crashes with some screen dumps after the first few moves. At 127k it is really pushing the memory envelope. There may be other versions floating around the internet which are more stable.

I suspected something along those lines. Or, as I was following a young woman at the time, maybe the cyber police were to blame. Get the kicking boots on Sarge.

For some unaccountable reason I recently recalled a fragment from a (I think) DOS game played back in the early noughties, although I suspect it was from back in the eighties/early nineties originally. I became irrevocably stuck on a problem based around a dog inside a bush, which resisted all ...
