Text-based gaming

These are the RSS links I regularly review to keep abreast of events in the text-based-gaming community.  I am a text-based gaming aficionado here’s my meager page to more links and information about text-based games.

I’m a long time text-based gaming fan.  I fondly remember Zork and I enjoyed many titles from the now-defunct Infocom company.

About 7 or 8 years ago, I discovered multi-player text based games (MUD’s) and I am pleased to report text-based gaming is alive and well. I prefer MUSH’es rather than MUD’s, really just a preference. I’ve included some excellent community sites which I encourage you to visit.
