ninja, I didn't grow up with "fucking xbox and shit"

I'm 17 years old. I grew up on NES and atari. XBOX, ps2, even n64 are still considered new in my mind. I still play old SNES games (my NES broke), which is over 10 years old, and it rocks almost anything else out there.

My point was, why make a text based game when you can make a 3d game? Personall, appreciative or not, I could care less about text based games, just because they were the "original" thing. Who cares, it's a wave of the past. Personally, I'd rather see a guy cut off another guy's arm with a sword than read words on a screen.

At least for me, It's the market. Why make a game when you won't make money off it? ya, programming is a hobby, but why waste time making a game if you get nothing out of it?


And Runescape isn't text based, ARENAscape is. Runescape rocked the shit back in the day. Now Runescape sucks more than ever.
