Ever played those Text Adventures that were around in the Eighties?

>You are in a cavern.
In the cavern is the Geek Dragon!

>x dragon

The Geek Dragon is covered in angry looking pustules, and only communicates by Leetspeak. Better avoid him in case he flames you for not talking like a retard!

>invent
You are holding:
A brass lantern
rusty sheriffs badge
skeleton key

In the wall is a lever

>pull lever

As you push down on the lever, a trap door springs open in the ceiling, burying the Geek Dragon in a colossal pile of spam.

Before he is completely engulfed though, he has time to let fly a jet of flame, which roasts you on the spot.

The problem was that the people who wrote the code for them, were great at computer software design, but appalling at writing fiction.

I had seen some which were both very complex and funny, but they were few and far between.
 
I remember those Med. I had a hard time getting into them by myself, but when there were a few people huddled around the screen, it was kinda fun. I remember the Zork series. I even had an Amstrad for awhile and the game on there was "Leather Goddesses of Phobos". Gees, I think I am showing my age now...Yes, I remember "Pong"!
 
We had a few of those text games on the Commodore 64.

Leather Goddesses of Phobos! That sort of thing was exactly what I meant when I said there were a few good writers of text adventure games.

That was an old Infocom game - a take off of cheesy sci-fi films of the Barbarella genre.

Wasn't as pervy as it sounded!

So true. I bought it cause it sounded pervy at the time! It was really like the other infocom games, just had some things in there to spice it up. Well as much spice as can be with text adventures.

I think most of the infocom ones were also on the C-64. I had one of those for a number of years. Those were great machines for their day.
