The coolest Text-Based Games!

The coolest 2 Text-Based Games I have ever played!

KoL - (KINGDOM OF LOATHING) a humorous, browser-based MMOG. It is notable for its use of hand-drawn stick figure graphics and writing characterized by it's weird and wicked humor. There anre many thousands of players playing the game currently.
In KoL, players fight monsters for experience, meat (the game's currency), and items, through a turn-based system. Players also interact with each other through PVP competition, participate in the in-game economy by trading goods and services, and organize themselves into clans.
It's really good for the peole who want a text-game with humor in it.
A website with all help to KoL is TheKolWiki.



HoboWars - Hobo Wars is a free online RPG with an attitude. As you can tell by the screenshot below, Hobo Wars is mostly text-based but does have humorous graphics that describe the different areas of the game. In an interesting twist, some areas of the game are actually real-life retail chains such as Wal-mart and Toys'R'Us.
You play as a hobo that explores cities doing various activities such as begging, gambling, and fighting. You gain experience by begging and fighting. You also need to stay "awake". One of the main ways to stay "awake" is by buying food at the aforementioned Wal-mart.
There alos is a second version of Hobowars called Hobowars2.com.
A webiste for HoboWars help is HoboWarsTips.
