Wishbringer - Interactive Fiction Fun


This was one of the first typing games (interactive fiction) that I played on an old Toshiba laptop. In short the game was about a magic stone which allows you to make wishes. It was great at first, but I kept getting lost and struggled with the parser. I ended up typing swear words just to illicit something from the game, and in the end I gave up.

Still, the game included other unique and interesting things like a book, a map, a useless envelope addressed to the shop in the game and a replica of the magic stone. The latter seems to be broken as I'm still playing gameboys.

It did get me interested in the genre and I especially liked the later games which included pictures or graphics and sometimes they included sound effects.
