Well, I wouldn't go that far...;)

I personally like text rpg's. They're great for easy programming, and good for learning new stuff about the language when your starting out. I say go for it. :D

Will someone please upload a really GOOD text RPG? I love playing original games. If it's really good, plz uplaod the source too!:D

Get a copy of Zork.

All of the online MUDS right now use SMAUG codebase and all of them have almost identical interface. Makes it boring cuz every mud is almost the same besides maybe a few monsters and special features. This year i made a text rpg it was really boring though but at least i got more familiar with classes+pointers.

I had made up 75% of the delphi code for a sever/client proggy for a MUD i was gona make.. Damn C++ diverted my attentions away form it. was a decetn server, was gona work on levels and what not when i finished it but never did .
