From about 1980 this video shows what life was like in the Atari Users Group. A fascinating slice of life video and a historical gem in its own right.

Thanks for checking out the video folks, this is literally just to say that for the immediate future my videos will be going back to a "lo fi" style with just the game on the screen and my voice over-laying it. Why? One word, convenience. At the moment i'm struggling for time and space, I don't have a dedicated computer desk etc so setting everything up takes AGES and means no one else can come near me when i'm doing it.
This way I can pump out the content, albeit low-fi style.

Managing hunger and thirst in text adventure games.... Annoying right? I get it, it's a real world thing, but honestly in a game it just erodes the fun. Well, not anymore for Enchanter by Infocom!
Using the spell "plenastomachum" (latin for full stomach) you can eliminate hunger and thirst at any time.
This video gives you a 5min overview of it and below you can find a link to the game file and source code files. The actual game file itself is called Enchanter-Hack.z3
