RE: To Guide or Not to Guide: Conquering Adventure Games (1984, Carl Townsend)
Those are some awesome throwbacks to the old days, thanks for sharing. Whether to use a guide or not that was (at least where I lived) a question of availability and most commonly you would just refer to "tribal knowledge" to someone who knows a kid who knows a kid that has that knowledge :)
I've actually been doing some "historical" gaming posts lately, covering noteworthy games released in certain years, just made a series about the 90s and the more recent 2000 (planning to do some more about the 80s) and oh I remember some of those games took colossal amount of time to figure certain things out while the solution turned out to have been staring me right in the face!
Thanks for reading, @emtecks! You just earned yourself another follower, a few upvotes, and some resteems. Let's see if we can't build you a bigger audience and get you out of that minnow tank. :)
Heh, thanks! And always welcome. I will try post some more interesting stuff going forward, so any feedback or proposals are always welcome :) Hope to see some more similar stuff from you as well, what I like here is that you actually have something to read, rather than just a bunch of pictures and quotations - most of all original content!
