What happened to Age of Fable (the web game)?
« on: October 08, 2020, 05:07:20 pm »

Good day, gentlemen. I hope that I have not interrupted your activities.

I have come to ask the following question: What has happened to the text webgame known as Age of Fable, which was released for free back in 2006? It's domain (www.ageoffable.net) returns an error message stating that the domain in question does not exist.  I found the game to be quite enjoyable, and I would be greatly saddened if it would become permanently unavailable.

This is probably your best bet: https://web.archive.org/web/20190626004755/http://www.apolitical.info/webgame/sourcecode.php
It's the sourcecode for the game, apparently (seems large enough for a text adventure).
Seems like you could probably split it into the relevant files and run it locally.

Sorry for the 2 day delay in reply. I infrequently check Bay 12 Forums.

Alas, source code is useless if one does not have the skill to compile it. I will need an compiled version of Age of Fable before I can play it.

I am also more than amiable to accept alternative propositions in the event that Age of Fable entered an state of permanent defunction or when an compiled version has been provided to me.
