I am sorry, if the subject has come up before, but i cant seem to find anything.

Anyway;
What good and beginner friendly games would you recommend?


Just completed Lost pig, now that was a blast:-)

You could give the games linked here a try:

Great. Thanks.

I actually saw that site earlier, but when I saw Adventure on the list, I thought the rest of the game were to "advanced" too:-)

We try to distinguish the games on that page using tags...

Yeah, and if I only would open my sleepy eyes, I would have read the description of "The dreamhold":

"The Dreamhold is a tutorial game. It’s designed for people who have never played IF before. It introduces the common commands and mindset of text adventures, one step at a time. There’s an extensive help system describing standard IF commands, as well as dynamic hints which pop up whenever you seem to be stuck."

and had not bothered people with my silly questions:-)

Oh well, everyone was a noob at some point, I guess.
Thanks anyway.

There's also a poll at the IFDB that you might want to check out:

Oh thanks again Tove:-)

Seems like I will be entertained for a loong time now.

don't like this list

galatea will turn you off if forever faster than michael moore devoures a hamburger

Why not? Which games don't you like? Why don't you feel they're good games for beginners?



Turn you off what? IF? Conversation-based IF? Character-centric fiction? And why will it? Because it's badly done? Pretentious? Simplistic? Over-ambitious? In defiance of all conventions? Not fun? Too much fun?

Your posts require more substance if you're going to say things like that.

not fun, not interesting in the slightest (talking to a statue? how about talking to a PERSON ), not even a game (more like a tech demo)

I mean what impact do you think it would have on a first-time player? I really don't need to write an essay about why Galatea is not newbie introduction material.

the most important reason though is that it won awards.

I've nothing against Emily Short though, she has put out way better games
