40 years in development? Good luck beating that record, Beyond Good and Evil 2.
That means it was 40 years between the first version of Ferret and one with an end game, which may technically be a record for"longest time a game has been in development". Good luck beating that,As Dyer points out, Ferret has 3,449 objects and 1,785 rooms . For comparison's sake, the original Zork has 60 objects and 110 rooms, while A Mind Forever Voyaging has 30 objects and 178 rooms. Ferret may not have as many words as, but it's a big game.
If you're still interested in trying Ferret for yourself, be aware that Windows does not like the official download and will flag it as a trojan. Fortunately, Dyer has made aavailable that will not make Windows have a conniption fit. After downloading those files, you'll want to run ferret.bat since ferret.exe launches a version that closes the window immediately when you die. In ferret.bat you'll stay in the parser and be able to begin over by typing"ferret" to relaunch.
