/vr/ - Retro Games

Played this comfy adventure game that came on a cd-rom with like 100 games in '95 or so. Never got far because I was unfamiliar with text parser games but I loved the atmosphere and booted it up often just to play with the commands.

Later in life I spent a lot of time trying to hunt it down. Making posts on somethingawful and neogaf with pretty accurate descriptors but got no results. Then one day a twitch streamer I follow that plays a lot of obscure stuff was just playing it one day and it made my day. Turns out the game is genuinely obscure due to being turned down by Ken Williams, forcing the devs to self-publish using a a shareware model. One of the original devs actually hosts the game for free on his own website so it's easy to get a hold of now. Still a cool game.
