Modern games are generally going to be more approachable than old ones. Tastes have changed considerably. In the days when you couldn't pull up a walkthrough in a few seconds, taking days to think of the next step was part of the fun, and just getting permanently stuck at some point was fairly common. Also, letting the player keep going even after they have done something to make the game unwinnable is now considered very uncool. Navigation is much less tedious these days as well, fast travel for example, although the exact mechanics depend on the game.

And that's not mentioning the amount of CPU and RAM available, not only for the game's runtime, but also for tools like I7 (which was used to write Counterfeit Monkey).

For an quicker introduction to modern "interactive fiction", as it's called these days, check out competition entries. https://intfiction.org/c/competitions/7 These are generally written in a shorter amount of time and the results are quicker to play through.

This is a fun one I played recently about shopping in a grocery store, called Aisle. You only have a single command you can give for the whole game, but there's a looot of them you can provide, and it gives you a different ending for each. Part of the fun is trying to figure out what you can say to find another ending. You can play it directly at the link below.

RTFM for [ns.ps()](https://github.com/danielyxie/bitburner/blob/dev/markdown/bitburner.ns.ps.md) and ns.killall() ;)

Alternatively, you can make a script to do all this for you. The script can buy a new server with the ns.purchaseServer(hostName, ram) command, copy the script with ns.scp(files, destination, source), and run the script on the new server with ns.exec(script, host, numThreads, args)

2.2.2 stable is now live here and at steam Dev version goes to 2.3, largest changes in the works are corporation rework and deprecation of NS1/.script.

> Bitburner is a programming-based incremental game that revolves around hacking and cyberpunk themes.
