Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

Unsure if just adding more helpful info, or missed the joke. ;)

I probably missed the joke. I was half asleep. What’s the joke?

[-] Durandal@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

I feel you, "half asleep" is a far too common affliction I am well acquainted with heh.

"frotz" is the name of the spell from the text adventure game "Enchanter" that makes things glow to light areas as you adventure, which is where the text adventure app gets it's name.

Ohhh I never knew that. I haven’t heard of Enchanter. I’ll have to check it out.

I also recommend "suspended" and "wishbringer" if you're into text adventures.

Sweet, thanks! I will keep an eye out for them.
