Without that time limit, this would seem awful. A much longer and detailed game would be insufferable with such a time constraint.<br />And now I suddenly think of a tweak that I have never even heard rumors of: a two-player text adventure. Not a MUD but an actual scripted game. This seems like a stage that simply never happened in the evolution of gaming.<br />And not too surprising considering the decisions you'd have to make before even planning such a thing. Co-op, PvP, or player/DM? Real-time, simultaneous turns, or hotseat? Those would all have a huge effect on the type of stories you could use, and the market for 2PTA's would be pretty limited to begin with. The temptation to slip into some other genre of game would be strong even if the idea occurred to anyone with the skills/resources to undertake such a project (it'd require a whole new engine, I suppose).<br />Still...an interesting notion. Might work best as an element in a novel instead of as an actual game.SteveAsatnoreply@blogger.com
