Remember the old text-only games?

Like Zork?

Apparently that genre is still very much alive, and online.

200 some-odd text games, there.

You can get all sorts of shit in the Infocom Archive series. You can also dl a C64 emulator & get text-only game ROMs from numerous sources.

I remember when I first played "Return to Zork." Holy fuck, seeing that white house was almost a religious experience.

Pong, bitches.

I once wrote a text-only parser for pong.

So suck it.

Oh yeah? Well, I ported pong to run on an abacus.

In your face.
