The HN find of the week is a real pearl of retro gaming. Those who liked the adventure games of Lucas and Co. at the end of the 80s, were in a direct line of semi-ancestors to those, who spent their time with text adventures years before. 

Anthony Hope doesn't seem to be one of the former, but he has just finished a real world adventure regarding one of the first text adventures from that time. And what can I say, he literally played through the whole thing ... in the real world. 

We all are rewarded, because as a result Wander is available again for modern systems. In collaboration with the author of the original - Peter Langston - and the help of Jason Dyer and a few others, the game has come back to life on Mac, Linux, Windows as well as DOS.

Text adventures play in a different league. But if you liked the genre, you should definitely take a detour to this project.
