A book about text adventures is the latest essential addition to your video game history library

Last year, Aaron A.Reed has published 50Years Of Text Games.This is a fascinating history of games where you have to "get a lamp" or "float down the Columbia River." It covered ancient classics like Hunt The Wumpus and Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, and even more modern games that do fascinating things with on-screen characters like Dwarf Fortress and 80Days. Now there's a co called Further Explorations, which covers what we had to exclude from the original, which focused on 1971-2020 each year on 1 exemplary game.

This includes games you might have heard like Lovecraftian horror adventure Anchorhead, as well as games south of the 110th. The simulated modelieds of every Manhattan block you see are as good at retelling the story of the famous Infocomm classic, unearthing something you've never heard of, like the Silver Wolf.This was one of 8 well-reviewed but now forgotten textual adventures developed by a studio made up of Irish women dressed like Victorian cultists called St Bride's School 1.

A wider range of further exploration allows Reed to expand his coverage to genres adjacent to the text, like visual novels and hacking simulations, as well as broader discussions. The analysis of the game, based on Stephen King's short story "The Mist," is based on a well-loved fantasy novel from Roger Zelazny's Amber series, or about buying monty Python's cheese (no, really, it's a game called Cheeshop, which is based on a game called Cheeshop, which is based on a game called Cheeshop, which is based on a game called Cheeshop, which is based on a game called Cheeshop, which is based on a game called Cheeshop, which is based on a game called Cheeshop, which is based on a game called Cheeshop, which is based on a game called Cheeshop, which is based on a game called Cheeshop, which is based on a game called Cheeshop, which is based on a game called Cheeshop, which is based on a game called Cheeshop, which is based on a game called Cheeshop.

Further exploration is not entirely without visuals, although many of the games it covers can help you visualize what is the word on the page by looking at the map of the sci-fi complex you explore in Planetfall or a flowchart of the route through Nine Princes of Amber. It ends with the first interactive novel, Tristram Shandy, a genre timeline that goes all the way back to 1760 when it was published. It is thoroughly completed.
