Women have needs.
And those needs can wait, I want my games dammit
this will come off as a shill post but i recently read "50 Years of Text Adventures" and it was very compelling
also i played "Gun Mute" https://pacian.itch.io/gun-mute it's basically a linear corridor of puzzle rooms but i had fun with it and the setting was neat
my bad, actual title is "50 years of text games"
i also read Digital Antiquarian's "Infocom Omnibus" and "Digital Antiquarian Volume 1", both were pretty neat https://www.filfre.net/the-digital-antiquarian-e-book-library/
Magnetic Scrolls is generally accepted as a great number two in text adventures, possibly because they always "cheated" and did their games with pictures.
Fair warning, that guy's a hardcore libshit and revises the hell out of history.
i didn't notice. i believe you, but do any examples come to mind?
He has a pathological need to bring any woman tangentially related to a game up as much as possible, ironically enough he has a massive hateboner for Roberta Williams.
His entries on Wing Commander and Id Software are all full of issues, often glaring inaccuracies. Also, his Tomb Raider article goes about as well as you'd think it would, considering his politics.
>ironically enough he has a massive hateboner for Roberta Williams
Does that have to do with the fact that she refuses to go along with the "I'm a woman, I'm an oppressed victim who had it so much harder than the men" narrative every time some journo tries to lead the conversation in that direction? Scorpia is another female figure from back then who consistently denies being at a disadvantage in the workplace, to the chagrin of younger interviewers.
to be fair like, roberta williams did own the company with her husband so I wouldn't expect her to get much shit from her employees
>Magnetic Scrolls
