I'll interrupt my catch up on old posts to tell you about a trilogy of paintings I'm working on that pay homage to the old school text adventures. Yes, back in the 8-bit days, text or graphic adventures were IT! I spent years trying to solve the Zork Trilogy ( yes that's where I got the title from). I did finish one adventure on the CBM 64.... 'Castle Of Terror' by Melborne House. Pleased as punch when I killed Dracula at the end of that one.....only to find out that by some fluke/bug in the game I'd completed it without actually playing 90% of the game...and I only found THAT out when my feat was published in a games magazine and I received 100's of letters from all over the world asking me to help them complete the game!!! FAIL!.. Ha,ha!
