Hitchhiker's Guide,now this a real blast from the past, text only adventure games, just words, no fancy new fangled graphics.
In the far off days of yore I would play Level Nine & Infocom games on my Amiga 500+, wow one whole megabyte of RAM with 3.5 inch floppy discs, no hard drive, had to load the Workbench operating system from floppy every time.
They could be very good or very frustrating depending on how well the programs parser was built, this was the bit of the game that interpreted your written commands.
Both L9 & Info were cutting edge in this field, my all time favourite was "Snowball" which took place on board an interstellar ship, it took me ages to finish.
