Parsely

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Relive the glory days of floppy disks, dot-matrix printers and 128K RAM with this collection of party games inspired by the text-adventures of the 1980s.

As the parser, you’ll take on the role of a computer game with a limited vocabulary. One by one, the players will give you commands like GO NORTH, LIGHT LAMP or GET SWORD, which you’ll follow to the best of your ability.

There’s no limit to the number of people that can play and no limit to the fun you’ll have. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to unplug from your computer and plug into Parsely!

This full-color, fully interactive PDF allows for easy navigation while playing.

Featuring a foreword by Wizards of the Coast founder, Peter Adkison.

Contains the following revised and updated Parsely games:

  • Action Castle
  • Action Castle II: Return to Action Castle
  • Blackboard Jungle
  • Flaming Goat!
  • Jungle Adventure
  • Pumpkin Town
  • Six-Gun Showdown
  • Space Station
  • Spooky Manor
  • Z-Ward

Also includes two brand-new games, never-before released!

  • Action Castle III: Beneath Action Castle
  • Dangertown Beatdown

Need something different to play with friends? Need something different to run at a game convention? This is it! I have run Action Castle I, II and II (plus a couple of others) at our local conventions and gamers love it and come back for more.

This looks awesome! However, is there any way to get the original try-fold versions still? It looks like they've been removed, and while I plan on getting this, I had the tri-folds in my wishlist for a while and was planning on get them as well. (Easy to keep a copy in bag for impromptu games. :)

Hi, Michael.

No plans to bring back the tri-fold version. It's not big enough to support the latest games in the collection and they're hideously expensive to produce in the quantities I need.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
