BoneQuest: Quest for the Bone is a multiplayer interactive fiction text adventure in the spirit of Infocom games.
“A text adventure is a game you play entirely by telling the computer what to do and the computer tells you what happens. It’s kind of like playing D&D except with a DM who is really stupid, but also a DM who is totally without any qualms about killing the player.”
-- Dave Lebling
