#2In an age where games are written by algorithms and dialogue is generated by AI, The Labyrinth of Time’s Edge stands apart. It’s the first open world "like" modern text adventure written entirely by a single human being, no AI, no procedural generation, no corporate fingerprints. Just words, code, and imagination. Built in pure QBasic, The Labyrinth of Time’s Edge now spans over 3,900 handcrafted rooms which will be released in a week's time. Each one written line by line by one programmer-adventurer determined to prove that storytelling still belongs to people. Explore haunted villages, forgotten catacombs, and worlds born from candlelight and memory. It’s free to play, made from love, obsession, and a refusal to let imagination be automated.

It must be amazing to feel that way about the totality of human literature. Might want to adjust your priors somewhat.

Ehh, I think GP was saying it doesn’t fit with the tone of a message board reply, so it seems cut and paste from some outside place. Either a press release, a review snippet, or AI.

#10Give your preferred AI agent internet search powers and look up how Elite managed to cram rather a lot of game into a nominal 64KB on a C64 or 32KB on a BBC model B.
That's a first person 3D space craft simulation with a very impressive Heads Up Display with vector graphics (unfilled on BBC and C64, filled on PC). It is also a commodity trading game to improve your spaceship etc and with a massive amount of variety in a binary smaller than an empty Word doc. Also: joystick and keyboard drivers and so on.
It's quite a tale.
