Retronauts Episode 468: Text Adventures
Text adventures: what are they, and where did they hide all the graphics? Until now, these questions have gone unanswered. But this week, we'll be looking at the world of games that existed before any kind of mandatory visual component—and continue to exist to this very day. And we have a real expert on hand: Aaron Reed, author of the upcoming comprehensive text adventure respective, 50 Years of Text Games: From Oregon Trail to A.I. Dungeon. So listen in as host Bob Mackey helps steer the Retronauts podcast ship through these formerly uncharted waters. (By us, anyway.)

Customer Reviews
Still the One I Run to
This show has been around longer than video games. They were one of the first podcasts I ever listened to and for good reason. This show is great. I learn so much and am always laughing. Keep it up!
Oldie But Goodie
One of the longest running retro video game podcasts (it was originally on the roster of the dear departed gaming podcasts from 1UP.COM), Retronauts now looks at game series and pop culture from the days of yore or not so yore. Witty, knowledgable, and seasoned, this is a classic of the podcasting form.
A little rough lately
I was fond of this back in the day, but attempting to revisit old haunts I’m finding it fairly abrasive to listen to, kinda iffy vibes for a game show and particularly so for a retro one. There’s far more than enough resources that I don’t need to ramble or complain much but it is a shame.
