Help finding an old text based game
(lemm.ee)
The one where you could do the thing, and it'd do some stuff?
It would help if you were a little more descriptive. Like is it something similar to knights of pen and paper? A dungeon and dragons kinda game?
You realize there was a good decade between the first home PC games and the time when computer mice became ubiquitous, right? You're going to have to say something about the game other than "text based", because that's no more descriptive than "mouse based" or "gamepad based".
VERBOSE
Okay, now try asking again.
Zork?
Okay definitely valid about the lack of details... The only thing I can really remember about it was it being very punishing, and near impossible without a guide of some sort.
I feel like there maybe have been mention of crafting and/or colony management. I'll see if I can find more details than this
Oh, that sounds like that game with dwarves. Dwarf Fortress or something?
No, it's called nethack! There isn't any colony management as far as I know tho. I was mistaken in that
