I wonder if the OP is around anymore... probably not. But I attached a .bat game I found on this site.

sure i can help you out with a sample code, although I may not be the best at .bat and the code would be long. here:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
Title Sample Adventure Game
color 20
REM By Seth Howard
REM Posted on Computerhope.com Forums
echo Welcome to the Adventure Game!
echo pause
:road
CLS
echo You are Walking down the road, and it forks. Which
echo way do you go?
echo.
echo 1.Left
echo 2.Right
set choice=
set /p choice=Please Press a number and press enter. 
if not '%choice%'=='' set choice=%choice:~0,1%
if '%choice%'=='1' goto l1
if '%choice%'=='2' goto r1
CLS
ECHO "%choice%" is not valid please try again
pause
goto road
:l1
CLS
echo You go left and see a monster. It eats you and you die.
echo.
echo Play again? (y/n)
set choice=
set /p choice=Please Press a number and press enter. 
if not '%choice%'=='' set choice=%choice:~0,1%
if '%choice%'=='y' goto road
if '%choice%'=='n' exit
CLS
ECHO "%choice%" is not valid please try again
pause
goto l1
:r1
CLS
echo You go right and the is a giant pickle that wants to fight
echo you. What do you do?
echo.
echo 1.Fight it!
echo 2.Run past it
set choice=
set /p choice=Please Press a number and press enter. 
if not '%choice%'=='' set choice=%choice:~0,1%
if '%choice%'=='1' goto fight1
if '%choice%'=='2' goto run1
CLS
ECHO "%choice%" is not valid please try again
pause
goto r1
and you would keep adding to it. I will make one and post it eventually

Yeah, Jarjee. He's in my school, a year higher than me.
He showed me that game and told me what all the commands do and everything.
Actually he is the reason why I got into Batch programming.
Thanks man (even though you don't come online anymore)  ;D

I'm trying to make one myself, i'm needing to use several files for the one game.
using the GOTO command makes it too confusing.

Wait, theres some misunderstanding here. You can post it, no one is stopping you.

If you're wondering why I removed the code from my other post, it was because it's very long.

I'm gonna post mine when i'm done......
