Does anyone else remember pure text games from Commodore 64 ( i think that was the system) I had a Dracula game where you wake up in a room in his castle and have to escape and I also had some pirate game, but I don't remember much about it. I think Steve Jackson made them.
Ah, we have come so far...

Snow falling and night falling fast, oh fast
In a field I looked into going past,
And the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
But a few weeds and stubble showing last.
The woods around it have it--it is theirs.
All the animals are smothered in their lairs.
I am too absent-spirited to count;
The loneliness incluces me unawares.
And lonely as it is, that loneliness
Will be more lonely ere it will be less--
A blanker whiteness of benighted snow
With no expression, nothing to express.
They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars--on stars where no human race is.
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.
Desert Places--Robert Frost
