As someone who likes RPGs, I am more of the thinking-style gamer. RPGs? Definitely. Strategy? Yes, please! Adventure? Indeed my taste.
So now I am sitting on a beach, reading „50 Years of Text Games“ by Aaron Reed. I really enjoy the trip down memory lane for the part that witnessed actively when in my gaming days. Interesting background information and at least as interesting ideas how to retrospectively asses these games. As games and also as some sort of art. Considering the footprint the games leave.
Also learning about new games and new information about games I heard about.
Makes me want to try out some of those.
I just enjoy it so maybe you might as well .
