Evarcha,
Actually It may be better to leave this thread going and I'll post how to create a Sierra like adventure here.
Reason: I kind of stepped on Timesplitter's thread. And while I was posting my reply (which tooK a while) other posts came in. So I'm not sure if he was aiming for an actual Text Adventure.
So perhaps a mod can delete my post in Timesplitters thread, and I will move my Text Adventure stuff herE.
I'll follow up later with how the command parsing token system works
