Oh, crap. They have to be from the list? I don't have any of those games and you did not tell us they were required until this week...
Are there other options?
Posted by: Evan at January 11, 2006 03:39 PMI chose this list becuase I didn't think it would be hard to find SOMEONE with an old copy of ONE of these games.
I think Puff said he was having trouble picking which one to choose... since you're both on campus, perhaps he can help you?
I'm open to adding additional games -- the classic text-adventure game Zork comes to mind, and it's freeware now.

I'd try Zork like Jerz said, it doesn't take long to figure your way through zork 1-2 and they can even be a interesting mind game compared to the more discovery-directional style of Adventure.
