Hey Calum
I live on the boarder of Queensland and New South Wales (the Gold Coast)
Where did you stay when you were here?

Nope both wrong. Gnusto is related to something far far geekyer than Starwars or Anime. It is the spell for enscribing other spells into your spell book used in the classic Infocom Text-Adventure series : ENCHANTER.
If you havent herd of it, perhapse you have heard of Zork. These two stories ran parallel to each other and in the same world. Enchanters are a type of Magician that practices Thaumaturgy, and Jeer was an Evil Enchanter that you have to defeat In the first one (I think).
Anyaway, sorry for taking up web board space with this foolishness. Continue thine discussion.

I don't remember that one, but I sure remember Zork and Zork II on the Commodore 64. Those were my favorites! And there was one based in the Egyptian desert with pyramids that I thought was pretty cool. I think it was called "Infadel" or "Infodel" something like that. Wonder if there is a copy of those games around? I might have to install the C64 emulator and try them out again....

No you don't! Alot of them are available for free online. All you need is a Z-code interpreter. The best one for UNIX is frotz. Heck Im running the Darwin version
http://www.ifarchive.org/
That site has everything you need. There is a big underground comunity devoted to these games and writing new ones. One of the best one's I have played is a game calld Curses. It is free as well. I recomend anyone to check this stuff out, don't get hooked tho.
