There is one force that unites all systems from 8 to 32 bits: the input prompt of a text adventure. Text adventures were probably among the first games to separate engine and game logic. This facilitated the porting to other platforms enormously besides the already low system requirements of a text-based adventure game. This was true in Infocom times, but also today, because in February two new text adventures were released for the ST, each with an intro image at program start. Silk Dust and The Queen's Footstep are each available in versions for 40- and 80-characters. There are no environment graphics like in the adventures of Magnetic Scrolls.
