This will be "Mouse and Click" right? not like mask of eternity? hopefully
correct, you could read the interview done by the Inventory #14 where Cesar actually explains in detail about this
Good, cuz Mask Of Eternity got really annoying with all the camera angles and buttons to press. I like the old KQ games where u enter the commands for them to do stuff.
LOL! u liked to enter commands!?!?! dude it's a b**** when u gotta take an hour to find out what to type to press a button to open a door... no dude... no
makes it harder. plus it upgrades your typing abilities.
Artificially harder, IMHO, in that the difficulty comes not from figuring out the solution to a puzzle, where it should be, but figuring out how to tell the game your solution, instead. I grew up with text adventures, and I still prefer PnC ones. :P

I like the old typing games. I don't know if I like typing or PnC more. I think I'd prefer the choice. Don't ask me why, just sounds fun to me.
P.S. Yes, I know KQ9's going to be "point and click."
As well as Jeysie, I also grew up with some of those games myself, they were fun :) nothing bad with those :P
Say, you are old, tired, used and abused :P
<3
yeah, look who is talking... perhaps you already went senile and forgot YOU are older than me smart pants :P
i dont know about typing games, but i grew up with lucasarts games like Indiana Jones, Day of the Tentacle, Full throttle, and Sam and Max. Good ol' fun Dos games with windows 3.1
Typing games required a different level of skill. But the puzzles themselves were somewhat "easier" because of the language difficulty.
For example: "open cupboard", "look cupboard", "get key", "unlock door" would be one puzzle; but in a PnC game, the cupboard with the key and the door that unlocks with that key, are usually not in the same room.
Oh man, anyone that grew up with text based games should definately check out "yon dungeonmaker" over on www.homestarrunner.com, i'd post the exact link but I cant find it!!! I think its hidden somewhere in one of the sb emails.. Hmm maybe our friend mike can tell us.
You mean, This game? (http://homestarrunner.com/dungeonman.html)
The name is different, but it's the only one text-adventure I could find (without looking too hard) :P
I enjoyed text and point & click. I gave a friend a copy of KQI and he had tons of trouble with it. He would type full sentences open the door instead of open door. he even tried. walk across the bridge ::) he has spelling problems too so he often got the message: I don't understand "kill ogerr"
I thought Leisure Suit Larry 7 - Love for Sail was interesting in that you could type as well as point-and-click. But, if I recall, there were some things that you had to type and could not accomplish by simply clicking. I'm not sure I like the idea of it being mandatory to do both.
