Indiana Jones fights the communist police: Local appropriation of the text adventure genre in the 1980s Czechoslovakia
Original language description
In the course of the chapter, I first outline the sociopolitical context of the 1980s Czechoslovakia and then introduce the genre of text adventure, and its local variation, the textovka. I then proceed to discuss the intertextuality typical of the 1980samateur hobbyist development environment. In the last section, I introduce two titles that launched the genre into the mainstream, thanks to the support of nationwide media.
