I had another idea for a game if anyone is interested in writing it: Larn. For those of you who don't know, Larn is a text-based rouge style game where the object is to find the unique "potion of cure dianthortis" and bring it back to your ailing daughter. However, the potion is hidden at the bottom of a volcano that is also populated with dragons and demons, which means that you have to power up your strength and equipment if you hope to survive. What makes the game interesting is that there are so many ingame items that it is impossible to find them all in one run of the game (which can last under 10 minutes, depending on how careful you are). More information can be found on
