I remember playing that game with my buddy - we were in a dark room & we could not figure out what do do next. We kept getting it wrong & then the game told us "4 out of 5 sense-able people know what to do next" We then told the game to "smell" & we were on our way

My first game back in the late 70's was a text based RPG. When I think back about it, it was a LOT of fun!

"You enter a cave .... it is dark, and you hear growling up ahead. There is a fork coming up. L - Left * R - Right"

Left.

A hungry bear makes you his lunch. Game over.

Right.

"You come up to a stirring waterfall falling gracefully at your feet. Luscious red fruit is growing along vines to your right. E - Eat * L - Leave alone"

You get the picture.

Was pretty basic....but SO much fun at the time.
