Gives an indication of what those of us who grew up in the '80s on text adventures used to consider "state of the art"
The only computer game (non-atari/system based) I remember from the 80s was De Ja Vue on the Mac. It was a cool game, for the time, no text though. Still think about trying to find it emulated somewhere.

There was also this game where you have to figure out how to get bags of money, and dig traps through brick - no text - but, there is an emulator somewhere (can't remember the name of the game though).

Bookmarked the post - gonna have to check that out.

I am curious what advantages others see in the devices. My major reason for getting it was: Less space, and lighter weight (for eventual us in an RV). I don't travel a lot right now; so, that really didn't play into it.
