A new text adventure game has been released that runs on a variety of
old computers. It can be downloaded for free or for some versions
bought as a proper boxed copy with floppy disks.
The Queen's Footsteps
---------------------
A modern text adventure for vintage computers.
The Queen's Footsteps is a text adventure game that you can play
on your vintage computers. A text adventure is a game where all
the interaction takes places with text and you instruct your
alter ego by typing command at a prompt. The rest is done by
your fantasy!

Amiga, CPC 664 or CPC6128, MSX, ZX Spectrum 48K, ZX Spectrum +3,
MS-DOS, Macintosh 68k, CP/M, Olivetti M20, RC2014, Commander X16.

recommendation. It's a well-made text-adventure with an unique story and a
world that is fun to explore. I found it not too hard, especially when
compared to old Infocom adventures, and was able to solve it relatively
hassle-free. (I think I only got stuck once or twice for a short period of
time)
Only downside I found was that saving a game wouldn't work on System 6,
but requires System 7 and up. Though that might have been fixed already.
(I know the author did for the successor)
If you have an old Macintosh and you like text adventures, give this a
try. It's a fun trip back in gaming history.
