@16tonsthericher.bsky.social In 1976 Crowther left this game running on a shared lab computer and went on vacation. He came home to find it had spread across the early internet by itself. Possibly the first piece of software ever to go viral. Reply with your first move.

@chadloder.dev Try killing the dragon with your bare hands. Just type it. The response is one of the most-quoted jokes in the entire history of computer games — and yes, it actually works.

And if you want to write something like the traditional text adventure, I think the most common framework for this stuff is Inform 7. There's variants of that which allow you to make games for retro computers like PunyInform, but I wouldn't say start with that
