> Does anybody know any other sites with text adventure games like this one? I use my phone & not all games can be played. I love these games & am looking for more. Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately, no. I think if you Google for "text adventure games" you'll find a lot of the ones that have to be played in Java or with an interpreter. The latter involves downloading something to your computer, and the former involves playing in a little box on the screen. This is different from the games on this site, where it's a standard web page and all you have to do is click small buttons to navagate through the games.

Do phones support Java? I wouldn't think so but if they do then there is a wealth of games for you - just search for "text adventure games". If they don't... you may be out of luck. It has been a number of years since I first came to Rinkworks but I did so through the Adventure Games Live page. At that time I had been playing the Java-based games and was impressed at how different the AGL games were. In the years between then and now, there may be other sites with games like this, but I wouldn't know where.

I did search for "AGL games" but that doesn't give me games, really. I found the Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_Games_Live) and a thread (http://sf.bbv2.com/bbBoard.cgi?a=viewthread;fid=1;gtid=4469) where a person is discussing making a game. I am not sure if it is intended to be sent to Rinkworks for review or hosted on another site. (Searching for "AGLL" didn't really help me either.)

I do think your best bet is to wait for other games to come out on this site, although other people who know more about this might be able to tell you differently.
