Choice of Broadsides A surprisingly deep and well written text-based choose-your-own-adventure where you play the role of an ambitious midshipman in the 19th century. posted to games by Bujold, Apr 4th, 2010
Maybe it was just me being a young'un and not being used to the epic size of ye olde texte games, but I was surprised that when I finished the game, a whole 45 minutes had gone by unnoticed. I don't know how shorter I expected it to be, but I was surprised by its lenght since it's just text with no videos of cutscenes or fancy move animations to take up time.
I never got into old school text adventure games really either.. but this had short, concise(yet fairly detailed) descriptions that allowed for quick gameplay.. I had just thought it would last a bit longer :)
It's like the text version of Sid Meyer's Pirates. I liked it.
Totally awesome.
A surprisingly deep and well written...MUTINY?! On the Defender?
Officers! Take midshipman Bujold to the gallows at once!
I am intrigued by ifnord's description. I shall check it out soon
Well that was fairly fun for text-only.. Shorter than I expected, but pretty neat.

I really wish this game was longer!
