Publisher's blurb: Relive the glory days of floppy disks, dot-matrix printers and 128K RAM with this collection of party games inspired by the text-adventures of the 1980s. As the parser, you’ll take on the role of a computer game with a limited vocabulary. One by one, the players will give you commands like GO NORTH, LIGHT LAMP or GET SWORD, which you’ll follow to the best of your ability. There’s no limit to the number of people that can play and no limit to the fun you’ll have. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to unplug from your computer and plug into Parsely! Contains 10 classic Parsely games and two brand-new adventurers! Features a forward by Peter Adkison and includes the following Parsely games: Action Castle Action Castle II Action Castle III Blackboard Jungle Dangertown Beatdown Flaming Goat!
