But before the PC, I used to play a couple of text games at work on an HP1000 mainframe. One was called Haunted House and the other one???---forgot...some sort of fantasy world with fairies and trolls, etc. The games where completely in text. You would enter something like "walk ten steps". There would be responses like "a loud scream can be heard from upstairs". They were really cool games because there was nothing on the screen but a little text, so you had to imagine everything in your head and remember where you were as you moved about.

I can't imagine playing computer games on those old relics; the most they were good for was typing...and to use a floppy to play the games with no less...I can't imagine!
