Overlord: A Text Adventure
As if the One Page games aren’t enough, I decided to go through with writing a text adventure. A text adventure using only .BAT files. Why would anyone do that you ask? I have no idea. Not sure why I even did it. A long time ago, I remember playing a PC game, and I was looking around on the cd to see what was there, and I found a curious .bat file. I ran it, (yes, not knowing what it was..), and to my surprise it was a text adventure! I don’t remember anything else about it, or what game it was from.
A littel while ago I was poking around somewhere, and came across another text adventure written entirely using .bat commands. Then recently at work I was doing some .bat scripting, and I had the thought why not go ahead and write my own text adventure? So I started it on my lunch break at work and than finished it a couple of days later.
So, wihtout further delay, here it is. Simply extract the files and double click play.bat.
Hope you enjoy!

I lost count of the number of blogs, journals or whatever public medium of discourse I have started, and let lapse. There have been many reasons, most of them excuses, but enough is enough. I am tired of not having a single place to refer people to. The times that I have kept up with them has also been a great motivator for me. It is great to see people become interested in what I am doing, and to get feedback from them.
So, here we go again. I spent Sunday, cleaning out my webspace at Dreamhost, getting Wordpress reinstalled and fiddling with the theme. Got a few pages up, to give the site a bit more depth, and have other things that I am both working on, and have finished but need to package up, that I plan on adding to the Games section in the next few days.
This is my challenge to myself to keep on target, and to get things done.
Thanks to everyone who is revisiting this site from last time!
