Actually I was talking about Zork...
http://www.nulldevice.net/infocom/
....which was based off of Adventure, if I recall correctly, and I may
not. Whatever it was based off of was originally written on a
mainframe at MIT..uh...I think. :-) I was really into this stuff
when I was about 14 or so...around 20 years ago. Hard to remember the
details, but I still have flashbacks about a thief and a troll and a
waterfall and...a delicate egg and...uh...you have to *move* the rug
instead of "get" the rug. VERBOSE! :-)

Re: They never come back
 
Ok, you've guilted me into it! I'm Steve, and I'm a Lurker....

I got fed up with the two candles on the front on my 2000 Cherokee after a
300 mile night trip in the rain and asked for some help in finding
headlights that actually work. When I came back the next day, I had several
responses... from low bucks (~$50) to several hundred. I went cheap. The
Sylvania Silverstars are amazing, compared to those miserable stock lights!

Sorry, I can't find my old post, or I'd put the response there. Thanks to
all the guys that helped me out, but I really don't think I put a "results"
post out there... Guess I need to go to my LA meeting now, eh?

Thanks guys! This is a great NG, with a lot of good people....

Hi Steve! Let us know how they last. I've heard of a short life span on
those lights. I like they way they illuminate though. They make the
stock lights look dim.
