Hi, I've embarrassed myself enough on here today so one more won't hurt. Is there such a text based game for Harry Potter? BTW, some also call these types of games RPG - Role Playing Games. Dungeons and Dragons was ocular with the kids at high school although I never got into it - too busy demolishing baddies on the PlayStation! _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

Hi Jackie You know what you might enjoy if you like strategy? Incredibly, even though they don't have sound, I enjoy playing them more then many blind games, they're text-based interactive fiction. In a way you can play them with other people, because what they are are games where you use the keyboard to type in commands for your player to do, like there is a sentence on the screen saying that there's a door, so you then type "open door" or some other command to make things happen. Many of these games are based on books. I've got the Hitch hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Adrian Mole, and a very classic one called Zork. I've also got Sherlock Holmes and The Hobbit, but can't get them to work. There files are .z80 files and I can't find an accessible program to run them with.
