[Coco] Anyone still play text adventure games?

[Aaron Wolfe]

A couple years ago I rewrote Bedlam in Perl.  It's fairly authentic,
with all of the original text, rooms, mobs, commands, etc.  However,
it is multi player, accessible over the internet via telnet.  Once you
escape the asylum, instead of ending the game you wind up on the
street outside the asylum.  Across the street is a spooky old house,
which was going to be where I implemented the Haunted House adventure.
 A bus pulls up to the curb every so often, and if you get on it takes
you out to a clearing in the forest, where I was going to put Raakatu.
 Was thinking about ways to incorporate other great text adventures as
well.  Anyway, only Bedlam is complete, but it is fully playable.
Making it multiplayer is interesting.. you can work together or
against each other since all players are in the same world.

I can put a server online or make the source available if anyone would like it.
