Wishbringer
DOSInteractive Fiction
Wishbringer is a fantasy interactive-fiction adventure developed and published by Infocom for DOS in 1985. The player takes the role of a postal worker in the seemingly quiet town of Witchville, where an ordinary delivery leads into a magical crisis involving an oppressive witch and a legendary wishing stone. Play proceeds through typed natural-language commands, with the interpreter describing locations, objects, and consequences. The game is designed as a comparatively approachable Infocom adventure, offering a gentler tone and useful built-in assistance while still rewarding careful observation and experimentation. It was well received for its polished writing, whimsical setting, and accessibility, and is often regarded as a good entry point to Infocom’s text adventures.
How is this list kept current?
How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
