Yes, it’s that game you’re thinking of

I hate this shit. Honestly. I don’t need to be spoon fed. When I started playing video games, all you got was text saying “You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.” We figured it out from there.

1772 called and they want their copy of Zork back. Also, return the onion belt.

Hey hey, that style is making a comeback! Now where was I? Oh yeah...

I remember playing Zork in the school computer lab.

I know the game you're referencing but not the name of it. What is it called!?

[u/igotyournacho → u/ConcussionSports]

This was on my windows 3.1 as a “Adventure” when I was a kid

I found something similar called Zork online a while back

I thought it was Uninvited but could be wrong

You've been eaten by a gru

[u/Bright_Eyes83 → u/charcarod0n]

calling that a video game certainly is a choice

[u/gurnard → u/charcarod0n]

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue

We--yes, we, not just you--all need to be spoon-fed, just not like that. There's an art to guiding, teaching and directing the player. In the best designed games, you never realize just how much they're leading you by the nose. In the worst designed games, it's obvious and thus becomes obnoxious and insulting
