Nahh, I want it stand-alone.

3 great examples of text-based games. Rather than using a server app that connects with Telnet, it's all completely stand-alone. Realms of Kaos even has a very nice interface with location images, user avatars, and a minimap.
Might not be everybodys pint of beer but I for one have always wanted to develop and run one of these types of games. The only reason I haven't is because I've never found a good enough engine for one. And if you're going to say "Why not write one from scratch?", well if everybody did that then there'd be nobody on this forum, would there
