Explore (v. 4.8.6) Разработано Wild Lava |
Explore the "Enchanted Cave", the "Lost Mine", and the "Medieval Castle"! Find clues along the way and employ objects you find in order to escape and win!
Before 3D graphics were widely available for use in games, there existed a few classic adventure games that relied on words to spark the imagination of the player. When I was a young teenager, I was enthralled by such games as "Adventure" (it takes place in "Colossal Cave"), which was alive with magic at every turn. My cousin, who was also hooked on this game, and I would stay up late into the night inventing our own fictional worlds, and in the process, we created the three adventures included in this app.
Through "Explore", you can visit the magical world of the "Enchanted Cave", the "Lost Mine", and the "Medieval Castle". By using simple one or two-word commands, you can walk around, find items that will be useful later, and follow clues to help you escape and win. if you need some help getting started after selecting an adventure, just enter the "help" command.
By today's standards, these old "text adventures" may seem quaint, but many people still find them a challenge. And just like when reading a novel, to see, explore, and interact with your surroundings using only your imagination can be quite a cool experience!

[2012-12-07] A Google User: Explore! Fills my "Zork" void For that old school text based adventure. This is a great free edition. A little lacking at first look, but once you get the hang of the vocab, then the fun begins :) Game on! |

[2012-02-02] A Google User: Great game! Loved this game, enjoyed it more than any in ages! The skill and fun is in building up a mental map of the situation and working out what objects might be useful where and how. Tips: Keep it simple with the commands eg 'verb object'. You have to take an object before you can use it. Three clever fun games for free, takes hardly any memory, no special permissions! Never bothered to review a game before! Thank you! |
