Hardly anybody remembers text-based computer games any more…

…since they went out of style shortly after somebody invented pictures. I've played a few of them; probably not you.  So here's a quick primer on how to do it.


You type something onto a line (sort of like typing something into the search box on Google), and the computer types something back. That's it. 


Oh, and since, back in the day, almost all computer games were designed by teenaged boys, almost all of them involved some kind of fighting.


I don't know if that's still true. But if you're interested…


Google is hiding a secret game in plain sight



Bonus fact: Text-based computer games are excellent ways to avoid work.
