Text adventure games is (are? help grammar wizards!) a genre? of computer games, widely successful during the late 1970s and the 1980s. Text adventure games were popular when home computers had little (if any) graphics capability. User interaction in these games consisted of typing commands like GO SOUTH, OPEN DOOR, SAY XYZZY, or PUT BABELFISH IN EAR. Most well-known company producing these games was Infocom, who produced the Zork series and many other titles still fondly remembered by countless fans. The first text adventure game, Adventure, was written for the PDP-10 (and has since been ported to many operating systems). Also known as interactive fiction. See also Interactive Fiction, with which this article needs to be merged. |
