Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

No older, it's from the late 80's and appeared for the PC, Apple and other 16 bit computers.

I'm sure everyone could come up with some obscure game from 20 years ago that noone played. It's not hard...........nor would it be a good choice.

No screenshot as this was a text adventure game available on the Radio Shack TSR-80*. I have attached a pic of the manual cover with the name pixelated out.Originally posted by child of Thor

The game involved you waking up in a mental instituation and having to find some way of escape.
It was available in "cassette" format, which for all you youngsters out there involved hooking a tape deck up to your computer.
Doctor Spike is correct in that this game is far too obscure to be fair.

Text adventure? The only adventure game taking place in a mental institution is "Sanitarium", but this one's only a few years old... and it defently wasn't a text adventure...
This space is empty... or is it?Comment

nice pic Static Universe - i would guess something along the lines of 'Sanitarium' as ADG said for that one.........BUT i think we still got to guess CapTVK's one haven't we?
I really like that pic - its hilarious, and i guess it should be 'asylum' - it seems to fit better.......that guy with the yellow laser eyes is great

I'm not so sure, I'm sure I've never played it because I was too young. I do recall reading tips and solutions for it in magazines and I think I know the name as well. If there was a canon for computer games this one would be in it.Originally posted by Static Universe

There was a game called Asylum for the Trash 80 but it had graphics - one of my friends had a TRS-80 before we converted him to the way of the Commodore.Originally posted by CapTVK

I think there was another one called "Institution" or "Institute" or something like that.Comment

Yes, yes, mental institution based games were all the rage in the early eighties. No more clues until someone guesses CapTVK's game
