Not compared to the 80s at least, though your argument makes a lot of sense.<br /><br />Believe or not, I'm getting the feeling that even commercial interactive fiction is making sort of a (modest) comeback, though surely lush boxes such as Infocom's will never be released again.<br /><br />Oh, and having failed -let alone watch- to read Harry Potter, I frankly wouldn't know. Clive Barker would make a smash hit though!gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497613771780431048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881574431924666276.post-37889996601408535822011-08-22T20:58:54.194+00:002011-08-22T20:58:54.194+00:00Good selection.

Take THAT, Dragon Age.<br /><br />Hmm, actually, I wonder if there's a correlation between the decline of the text adventure and the decline in reading books for pleasure in teenagers? Perhaps someone should convince JK Rowling to do a Harry Potter text adventure?Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881574431924666276.post-82133124187938235952011-08-22T15:10:36.148+00:002011-08-22T15:10:36.148+00:00Exactly :)Exactly :)gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497613771780431048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881574431924666276.post-1800287147939217042011-08-22T15:06:13.601+00:002011-08-22T15:06:13.601+00:00The credo of the retro gamer!The credo of the retro gamer!MadPlanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06725908232972984690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881574431924666276.post-9740968081826358032011-08-22T14:47:13.451+00:002011-08-22T14:47:13.451+00:00Sadly never tried them, though I have heard quite ...Sadly never tried them, though I have heard quite a few interesting things.
