About the Story

The Further Adventures Of The King Who Wanted To Die But Whose Subjects Just Weren't Ready To Let Him Go…

You’re alive. Again. And not too happy about it. During your current period of deadness, your son has made a real hash of things, the High Chancellor has been butchering your citizens left, right and centre, and everything else... well, that’s not looking too good either. So you’re back to life (again) unfortunately.

Well, part of you anyway...

Multi-Part Games by Bloodsong
I was wondering just how many games out there, either completely text based, or text-adventure hybrids, are out there that involve a story line over the course of several games. I know for sure of the Sorcerer trilogy from Infocom...any...
