Adventure

It is very interesting that this game was created so that Crowther, who created the game , could play it with his daughters. Most of us know our parents are always looking for ways to connect with us and find things to do together. I think it is pretty cool and interesting that Crowther took that desire to connect with his daughters and used it to create this game so he could play it with his children. 

This game can be very frustrating when it comes to typing in the commands. As you see in the video when Peter typed in "Go to forest" the game didn't recgonize it. When Peter changed it to just "Go forest" the game reconginzed the command and it worked. The reaction that peter displayed when the command worked is one I noticed myself doing a lot while playing the game. The frustration factor of this game is also why it can be so fun and rewarding. It is exciting when a simple command such as "Go forest" works and you can progress into the game.

As Susan mentioned most of the games we have looked at have made the class appreciate the new technology we have. I would have to say although I did enjoy this game, This example still makes me appreciate the technology we have today. I am not very patient when it comes to some things, Which is not a good thing in video games, and because of that fact I do not know if I would be able to enjoy this game as much as others would. http://blogs.setonhill.edu/SusanCarmichael/2010/01/frustrating_adventureland.html

I agree with what Dr. Jerz said to his son about llaying these games with someone else and talking to someone else is something that helps get your ideas going. Sometimes these games become frustrating or you have a mind block and you cannot figure out what to do next. Talking to someone helps regenerate the flow of ideas and can be very helpful in figuring out how to complete the task at hand.
