Sakura Shrine Girls! Oh boy! I bet this is finally the good one! :)

So, instead of asking you about that Winged Cloud nonsense, how about this... Have you ever played a text adventure? You know, the old kind of adventure game, from before graphics were invented? With typing and reading and drawing maps on a piece of paper?

No, I didn't think so. Nobody plays that sort of crap any more. Oh well.

Hmm... I know, maybe this will help: try a video of a text adventure: :)

Is this the best Winged Cloud can do?

I played some text adventures in the late 90s, but they were all free and mostly based on their authors' school or whatever. Never played a professional one.

Oh, interesting, so you'd wander around doing typical adventure game stuff in their school? And you don't even need an artist, that's a bonus! :) Students setting games in their school is pretty common, I think... Write what you know... :)

I suspect for "normal people" the entire genre would sound ridiculous today, assuming they managed to stumble across it... :) I suppose people would be as likely to play Dwarf Fortress as an old text adventure... :)

It sounds too much like effort, why can't we just see pretty pictures and shoot things? :)
