50% of me is a huge nerd! How about you? (http://students.washington.edu/mmccain/nerdtest.html)

I no nothing about D&D and most PC games.

I'm surprised this wasn't on the test:

"XYZZY"

A) You are likely to be eaten by a grue
B) A Spell that causes ovens to glow
C) A Spell for memorizing spells
D) A hollow voice says "Fool"
E) Takes you to the Selenetic Age

I flat out *guessed* at a lot of the PC game questions, as the last PC game I bought was Leather Goddesses of Phobos.

I have to note that I bought it so I could use TRS-80 version of that to make the PC version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy work on my TRS-80 (I can explain how this works if you are intersted in that level of true geekery)

I also had to guess on the 3rd edition AD&D stuff. I quit buying stuff around the time of the second edition.

::grins:: I have every Infocom but one. I know ALL about the Z-Machine. ;)

Which one don't you have? As far as I know, all the ones *that* old can be downloaded from their web site.

There's one story I'm missing, and one program. I'm missing Shogun, which I've heard works with Zork Zero's Z-Machine, and I'm missing the Cornerstone Database.

However, to make up for it, I have the old Dec-10 Dungeon version of Zork, which is INCREDIBLY hard. :)

I am strangely terrified that I came out a bit geekier than you.

Well, I had to guess at a lot of the computer game stuff. And the stuff about the later versions of D&D.
