Ring Quest

Ring Quest is a developed by Dallas Snell and released by Penguin Software in 1985. When the author started working for Origin Systems, this game was published again with extended manual and backstory. Ring Quest remains the only text adventure published by Origin.

Ring Quest is the direct sequel of The Quest. Later, the character Gorn will appear in Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny and several subsequent titles in the  series.

Gameplay
The player takes the role of him/herself, magically transported to the world of Balema. He or she travels together with Gorn, who refers directly to the player as Other Worlder.

The game proceeds by typing commands that Gorn will execute. The text parser allows to input rather complex commands, such as "use flint and light lantern".
