ahh. This was a great game back in the 80's. This was what really started the gaming industry off.

I think that these early games forced you to use your imagination more than modern ones, and they were a lot of fun. Anyone play Zork? It was a text only game and I loved playing it. I could just imagine the world that was being described, kind of like a good book.

Who remembers Rogue from the early days of the PC?

Crap, there were better games than this in '87 - Defender, Time pilot, Star Wars, Tempest, Galaga, Gauntlet, Paperboy, Qbert, Pacland and 1000's of others...

I played galaga so many times I found a way to stop them from shooting.

Never got very far in Zork. Insanely difficult, like most text games of the day (especially Infocom's titles). But I really liked the next generation when Legend Entertainment came around: Sorcerer 101 series, Gateway I & II, Eric the Unready...

There's still an active scene around that makes modern text adventure games. Google up "Interactive Fiction".
