I thought I'd share some of my bookmarks to "Adventure sites" dedicated to old computer platforms.
There's actually alot of games to play out there, if you want to. Ofcourse you would need a emulator to play them...
The Commodore 64, Spectrum and Apple II all have huge numbers of (mostly text) adventures. Very nice to look at and play with!

Well hope you like it, anyway the IF sub-forum could use a little boost

A lot of abandonware sites for PC, but does one really cover only the old adventures?
