Text-based adventure games

[Jin]

I'm thinking he means games with only text.

I've played a few when I was a youngin'. And by played, I mean I followed along while my parents were playing as I was hardly at a suitable reading level to do so myself. I can't really recall specific games, though I do recall one having something to do with the Titanic. The only thing similar I've played semi-recently would be Adom, which isn't so much a text based adventure game as an RPG using ASCII characters as graphics.

Text based or not, Leisure Suit Larry was the shit.
