Can anyone recommend some and does anyone know where you can download these for free?

I`m bored at work and think I could get away with playing one of these at my desk as they`ll look like my UNIX session! :D

Theres Zork I,II,III for free download. I never really played them much, but i think they`re the sort of thing you`re after.

I think theres also one called Ultima? Google around.

Remember my son, the words of the wize old sage, "if you are on a long dark & dangerous journey and you go..LEFT, then LEFT. followed by LEFT , then finally LEFT"

You end up back where you started :(

Thats life :D

You can download an acorn electron emulator, and then get sphinx adventure to play - look on google, i can`t remember the site but the game is as good as when i was a young kid.

...look into my eyes

Have a look at www.stairwaytohell.com for the Acorn emulator, I think the games including Sphinx adventure are on there too.

This one`s got the old Sprectrum Hobbit game on it:

Have a wee swatch at http://www.msadams.com/downloads.htm for downloads of Scott Adams games. Voodoo Castle, Adventure Land and many others. Great games when released on the old Vic20 and still as playable and enjoyable now even after all these years.
