Lost 2

Lost 2 is an obscure sequel to an unavailable (as far as I know) QuickBasic-created ASCII adventure game. This is a demo, so it's unfortunately unfinished, but there is still plenty to explore. As mentioned it uses text mode, specifically MCGA mode 13h, aka "SCREEN 13" in QBasic & spinoffs, which is usually used for 256-color graphics. The graphics here are ugly, even for a text mode game. But there is an inventory system, many different screens to explore, and you can also talk with people and choose different dialogue options.
