I played a text based adventure game called (I think) “Bad King” that was on one of those “1000 free programs” shareware/freeware CD’s when I was a youngster. Every time I try to find it on the internet I’m stumped. It was my first introduction to text based adventure games, so I’m dying to find it. If anyone has heard of it please drop a line!

Also I believe on the same or similar shareware CD was Stars 2.b. That was my first experience using a LAN to play a multiplayer game with other people. That’s been easier to find, and still a nostalgia bomb for me.
