I remember years ago playing spider-man and the hulk, they were text adventures, but you sometimes would get a graphical respresentation of rooms or scenes now and then, any IF games still doing that?

Thanks.

Many games made with HTML TADS (a software which enables you to write text adventures) include graphics and music. You could be interested in the following:

Three Stories (couldn't find the link)

The Golden Skull  http://ifarchive.org/if-archive/programming/tads2/examples/goldsrc.zip

As Rael already said, "1983. A world's Fair" includes graphics, too.

And, if you are interested in the technical aspects of multimedia within the TADS enviroment,  the following link will be very insightful  http://tela.bc.ca/tads/
