Comment Re:MacMini M1 configurations reduced (Score 1) 47

My bad. The top-level only shows the minimum configurations (8/256 & 8/512). I mistakingly thought that was all that they were offering now, but pressing SELECT does still bring up the extra options. I did notice there is now a "10 Gigabit Ethernet" option listed for an extra $100. Has that always been available?

Author's note: I tried to keep this version of Adventure as faithful to the original as possible, though I did add a few 'optional' commands to help game-play through a voice interface. For example, for a one-time 2-point score penalty you can ask Alexa for possible paths from your current location by asking for a path hint. This option was added to help mitigate the very point you raise. :)

Submission + - Original Colossal Cave Adventure now playable on Alexa (amazon.com)

teri1337 writes: A few old-timers here may recall with fond memories the phrase "Somewhere nearby is Colossal Cave..." Well, a voice playable version of Colossal Cave "Adventure" is now available on Amazon Echo devices as an Alexa Skill. This is a port of the original 1976 text adventure game written by Willie Crowther and Don Woods, which started the interactive fiction genre and led to later games like Infocom's Zork. This version was written from scratch as an AWS Lamda function incorporating the original 350-point game database, and made available with permission from Don Woods.

Comment Final Fantasy XI (Score 2) 337

I know it's been out a long time, but FFXI can be a very enjoyable environment for two (or more) people to hang out together when they're miles apart. It's got a lot of places to explore and goals to achieve that have nothing to do with battle. (i.e. Crafting, Fishing, Exploration Quests, etc.). Just a suggestion. :)
