Trying to Remember Old Game
« on: October 24, 2021, 01:57:41 pm »
There was a forum game I stumbled onto once a long, long time ago. Maybe 10 years ago. All I can remember about it is that it was a kind of battle royale in side a fairly contained space - maybe a building - and the fun of the game was that there were these magic books strewn around with magical phrases in them - and you'd have to get one, say the phrase to find out what it did...

...and as the game went on - i think - once you started learning what did what, you could start trying to combine them to create stronger/more interesting effects.

That's all I can remember about it. Does this a ring a bell for anyone? Does anyone remember what it was called?

That sounds like Perplexicon.

If you replied to any forum games from the early 2010s then it would be easy as looking in your post history.

Sorry for the off-topic, but what are other good places we can play these forum games?

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

All the high effort forum games seem to flourish on Sufficient Velocity and Space Battles these days.

Are there any forums that aren't dumpster fires with games?  :-\
