Short: Text based adventure game. V1.32 Author: Simon Champion Version: 1.32 Type: game/role Origin: Fish collection Space Jest is an adventure game of the old type. No graphics here, this is a text adventure. I know that about half the prospective players have just stopped reading and turned to something more interesting like Monkey Island 6, or something like that. To those of you who are still reading, thanks. I have tried to make the game as appealing as possible, but there are those who think that to be called a game it needs graphics. Ah well, we can't all be perfect! I have been meaning to write a decent adventure game for some time, but all of the projects I started have ended up mutating into something else. One of the things I have mastered as a result is being able to write a decent input routine, and most of the programs I have written of late (from databases to all manner of other things) have used the same input routine which I hijacked from one or other of my attempts at an adventure game.
