📬 A while ago I was listening to The @retroadventurers.bsky.social podcast in which @jasoncompton.bsky.social mentioned “The Classic Adventurer” magazine.

📬 Last year I wishlisted “Enshittification” after the OGWN chaps chatted with its author @doctorow.pluralistic.net

📬 Looking into the Design book revealed the thick #ZXSpectrum Guide book.

Now, as much as I like me some text adventuring, I actually much prefer reading from physical books than on screens.

📚🎮 #VideoGames ⌨️ #TextAdventures #InteractiveFiction 🗺️ #NonFictionBooks 💡📚💙 #BookSky 🦋 #SeptemberBookHaul 📦

Two paperback books by Shaun McClure arranged next to each other on a table. “How to Design Adventure Games” is placed flat while “A Guide to ZX Spectrum Adventure Games 1982 - 1985” is stood up right so we can see the thickness.Both paperback books are now stood on their side, spine facing up, so we can see the difference in thickness. “How to Design Adventure Games” is much slimmer than the chonk of “A Guide to ZX Spectrum Adventure Games 1982 - 1985”. Rather curiously, the design book is “By Shaun McClure” rather than just the author name. It’s inconsistent with the guide book, and looks odd.
