Perhaps this should go in the wish-list, but it's not a specific game, rather a whole genre:

Who'd like to see text games on GOG? There's the Zork Anthology, but that's all for now I think.

There's so much other good stuff, even community made freeware (it's still being made, believe it or not!), and by now it's pretty much all free. It could be put into big bundles and distributed with the other 12 games for new accounts (or you can download it if you don't already have it).

Also, almost NO download time at all, because they're so tiny!

Really the only problem is that it usually requires an interpreter because they're not compiled into exe format. But that could be distributed as well.

id like to see the whole infocom library
all of them
not just zork

I can recommend two text-based games on GoG:

Zafehouse Diaries - zombie survival roguelike, where you try to keep your team from killing each other before the zombies does. Despite some slight quirks, this game is real entertaining.

Uplink: Hacker Elite - Hacker simulation game, inspired by what hacking looks like in Hollywood movies. This is far from an authentic sim, but it manages to make it feel like the real thing. This will get your nerves in high gear in no time.

I once made one and never finished so basically best thing you could hope for.. to get sucked in the abyss of bits.

Snowkatt: yeah, Infocom was the main company, but there are actually hundreds, if not thousands of these games!

Amok: what is that? It's not playable, is it?

KasperHviid: interesting, but it's not quite what I meant. I was referring to games that you just read and type commands. In the purist sense, there's nothing graphical at all.

Antimateria: Why don't you finish your game and put it somewhere we can get it?

Ahh, the memories. Not so much from single-player text games, but from online multiplayer ones...

off cours ebut lets first start with the one thats best known and then work our way up from there

This thread reminds me old text games focus on The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings which existed in the 80's : The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Shadows of Mordor and The Crack of Doom.

Yep, it was somewhat offtopic, but I thought it was worth mentioning since the core of these games is text.

I think the most ambitious modern text adventure is Cypher. I was impressed by its good presentation, but not totally sure about the gameplay. I mean, I must have stopped playing it for a reason, right?

Oh, and Leisure Suit Larry comes with a copy of Softcore Adventure
