That Night Before was an excellent game. I was actually working with the developer of it on a TNB prequel which never took off. It was just ideas and storylines but it never got beyond that. But yeah, it's a really fun game to play.

If anyone hasn't played them I'd really recommend Beneath a Steel Sky and Flight of the Amazon Queen which are both freeware and available at http://scummvm.org :)

I wouldn't recommend Flight of the Amazon Queen in the basis that it's so bad. :lol

Hmm never played Flight of the Amazon Queen.

Beneath a Steel Sky is a bit of fun though

Be vigilant!

Especially if you put Joey in his welding body. He does say Asimov's Laws are only fiction. :p

Does anyone know any really good online text adventure games? There's a hidden area on Playstation Home that is a treasure hunt of sorts and one of the challenges to recieve a clue is a text adventure game, I completed it on my first try but has brought me back to my youth when I was about 8 or 9 and I used to play them all the time!!

Obviously with todays technology there must be a few good browser based ones by now!

Thanks

EDIT: Wow look, KQ5 txt adventure!!! http://www.textadventures.co.uk/review.php?game=112

Stetchnik, a member over at the IA forums, would be a good contact. She's been fairly involved with the IF scene for a while.
