90s text adventures

In the 1990s, text adventures were interactive computer games that relied on written language rather than graphics. Players navigated through a virtual world by typing commands, such as "go north" or "open door," to solve puzzles and progress through a storyline. The games often featured rich narratives and complex plotlines, engaging players' imagination. Prominent titles included "Zork" and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Though less popular today, text adventures laid the groundwork for more advanced interactive fiction and influenced modern video game storytelling techniques. Their emphasis on language and creativity remains appreciated by enthusiasts.
