A Spot of Bother: A Text Based Adventure Game

So, there are two types of adventure games out there. The really cool, visually stunning, music intense, tap dancing monkeys, Point and Click ones. And then there are the less intense, but still equally wonderful and brain stimulating text based ones. Well, I’ve found a text based one that makes me laugh just reading the intro:

You are Stavros ‘The Bulldog’ McGrogan, the hardest man the SAS ever produced. While it’s perhaps untrue to say that bullets bounce from your skull, daggers bend when stabbed into your ribs and bombs just plain run away from you, it is true to say that you once disarmed a terrorist by tearing his arm off with your teeth and then cracking his head (through his shock resistant armour) with your nose. You’re mean, nasty, vicious and downright tough. They call you in when someone needs dealing with quickly and painfully. When terrorists threaten the safety of the world, they send out a message for The Bulldog. And may God forgive any terrorist who doesn’t get out of your way…

I remember the last time I ripped someone’s arm off with my nose. It was an unholy surreal experience, but the guy deserved it. He totally cut me off.

The name of the game is A Spot of Bother and the guy who developed it is David Whyld. It looks like the guy has quite a few text based games out there and I’ve read a little about him on Google and it sounds like his stuff is pretty darn funny.

So, check it out, because we can all use a little text based adventure games in our life.
