BECCABOOP; to kwg; I just have a question, I am looking for pre 1982 PC
Games, not just any games, the ones that had only writing involved.
EXAMPLE: You are walking down a path in a large forest, to the right is a
very old big house, to the east is an opening to a cave, then you write
go to the door of the huge house, knock on door and there is no answer
etc... the PC games were useing your mind only,with several outcomes to
every thing you write, I have been looking for these games for a long
time, if anyone can help me please let me know, Thanks, Beccaboop

I seem to remember they were called text adventure games. This search
might get you started.. Change the search parameters to widen or narrow
