..I tend to agree.

Nowadays, there is simply a tendency for more flash, less thought; Ultima
7, which sold 50,000 copies day 1 of sales, is FUNDAMENTALLY no different
than it was several years ago.  It just looks better and the player
interface is all nice and pretty.  The Sierra adventures rea no different;
I will no longer play any of them, since every puzzle seems to be of the
"put tab a into slot b" variety.

I know, I know... graphics are good, interfaces are important.... but I
can't help thinking that, back when text was 40-col and heinous and Zork
was the hottest thing to hit the Apple II market... somehow, in a few
indefinable ways, it was better THEN.

Oh well, back to my pretty xmode icon programming--->Vputz
