Spectrum only?

I got the impression that the games discussed here are for the Spectrum only. Is this correct? Is it okay to discuss games for other platforms as well, like the C64?
Is anybody playing adventure games on other platforms than the Spectrum? I for one enjoy playing adventure games on my trusty old C64. Yes, the real thing and not an emulator.

You can discuss here games for any platform you like, though there's a separate forum for the modern stuff. If you go down the list you will see games for the C64, BBC, Apple ][, Amstrad CPC, and others. It just seems that there were a lot of text adventures written for the Spectrum, curious as the Spectrum had one of the worst keyboards to ever appear on a computer.

I would agree, though, that a lot of the discussions in these forums seem to be for Spectrum games, though BBC games seem to be brought up as well. I haven't seen a lot of topics on Apple ][ or C64 games.

I think the lack of C64 coverage is due to the fact that most, if not all, of the good C64 adventures were solved a long time ago. However, there seems to be an almost endless flow of Quill'ed Spectrum adventures - I won't make any comments on their quality, though.
But I am first and foremost a C64 guy myself, so if anyone can dig up anything worthwhile for the Commodore, I'm there

I usually have BBC titles next in line, so those are also appreciated.
