Doubt it, they kinda went out in the, what, 70s? Anyway, jaardsi's all into Rogue-likes and shite (specially the Terry Pratchett one, whatever the name was).
Zangband!
Anyway, there was some online text adventure - can't remember it's name but it was quite cool.

Heh, I've actually written a text-game in QBasic, about a 10 years ago? I've played several in that time, mostly economic sims and stuff.

I've actually written a text-game in QBasicMe too! Although not so long ago. Maybe in 1997 or something like that. The game was complemented by a hand-drawn map. Quite fun!

My first BASIC program was
10 print "FUCK"
20 goto 10
Classy.

Materia magica is one of the only remaining popular text adventues. its pretty fun once you get into it. two of my friends are die hard WoW adicts. and they loved it for a while. then another WoW patch came out and they forgot it.
