Text adventure enthusiasts! I have a question.

Other than Infocom/Inform, what was your favourite adventure engine/authoring system for 8-bit machines?

I'm interested in both people who played games using these engines, and people who created games with them (even if you never released them).

@thelastpsion The only other IF games I played a lot of in the 80s were the Scott Adams series. I know that system got used by other authors, but I only played the original nine Adventure International text games.

I loved Eamon for the apple][! It came with a bunch of adventures and it was easy to make your own.

It is, as the kids would say, a mood. 😂

@thelastpsion Even split! STAC was my bag. Gave games to a few school friends - wish I’d had enough confidence to do more.
