The Passage

[collindow]

The Passage is an old game that I just found going through files in a folder on my desktop. It is, I believe, a game that very much justifies calling video games art, in the same way we call films, photography, and music art.

It takes but five minutes. You can move in all four directions, though you start out as high up as can be. You'll figure out what the game is saying very quickly.
It makes one think a bit. The Passage

I put down a whopping $.99 and bought it in the app store, great game, but no Oregon Trail!

 

[expatpipe]

Oregon Trail ) remember playing on a floppy disc. I miss that one. Totally off topic, did you see Mat Damon's meer in True Grit? Kinda cool.

 

[marmal4de]

Yes! True Grit was fantastic, however off topic it is!

 

[skylonrow]

Very Good. Makes you think.

It is dark, you will likely be eaten by a grue.

I never did get very good at text adventures. I got eaten. A lot. By a grue, of course.

I had the Hobbit on my first computer. I could never finish it - I always got killed in the forest.

Yeah that happened to me a lot. Like, a lot a lot.

I wasn't eaten by a Grue... but maybe that's why I can't count past 9. :D
