Replaying Infocom's "Wishbringer" - Amiga style...
« on: January 03, 2008, 01:53:17 AM »
I am about to replay Infocom's "Wishbringer," which I last played (and solved) on my Amiga 1000 in early 1986.  I wanted to capture the feel, so I took some steps.  

I thought I'd share the story.  :-)

Is it really a "weblog"? It looks, at first and only glance, like a thing with articles about things. I'm gonna be semantically picky on you and say that "blog" has become the new jargon for what your site is. A weblog, I decided :-P , shall remain the jargon for the original "blog" wherein it was just a list of www places people went that day.
