Subject :Re: [sierragamers] Recent adventure games with a typing interface...
The most recent text game I know of is Future Boy! from 2005.  It has graphics, sound, music, and voice acting, but all descriptions, narration, and input are text - and it's a superhero game.  Here's the website, with a free demo available.

Hello everyone,
 
I was wondering if anyone knew of any adventure games (whether freeware, fan-made, or commercially made) that were released in the last five to fifteen years that actually use a type interface. I was showing a friend of mine who isn't very exposed or knowledgeable about computers some of the old Sierra games (including The Colonel's Bequest and Laura Bow II: The Dagger of Amon Ra).
 
He especially enjoyed the typing interface on Colonel's Bequest, and kept typing in silly, funny, and sometimes quite adult commands, like "Show Celie your breasts". Often, that game will focus in on a certain word and say "This game doesn't understand 'breasts'," which often made both of us laugh hysterically.
 
Anyway, I'm a big fan of the typing interface and I wonder if anyone has used it again within the time period I mentioned. Either send a reply to the group or to me privately.
 
Sincerely,
 
Ryan A. Scott
