I guess if you like, you can look up screenshots from a really really primitive computer game I had on my mom’s old Apple IIc, it was called Demon’s Forge and people apparently hated it, it’s from like 1987 and you go around corridors encountering objects and typing shit like “TAKE SILVER BALL” or whatever. It’s something I wouldn’t be eager to play again.

“Will your stalwart band choose to Fight or Run?” Oogie. Loved the “stalwart” in there. Laughed at the character named “BLAAARGH.”

I laughed also at how The Bard’s Tale tries to catch you pirating, by asking you a question you can only answer by looking at the game map. Reminded me of Metal Gear Solid telling you to look on the back of the jewel case the game discs came in to find out a radio frequency to contact a key character, thus making sure you bought a physical copy.
Or more hilariously, it reminded me of Agloe, New York, a fake town that mapmakers would put on maps back in the 1920s thus enabling them to catch people breaking copyright law by copying maps that had Agloe on them. Apparently if you can find an old map that has Agloe on it you can make money by selling it?!? And later someone tried to make it into a real town?

I’ve lost track of how many stories I’ve read about writers becoming reclusive cranks/right-wingers as they get older. Isn’t that what happened to Alan Moore?
