Enjoying a barrel ride on my digital surfboard, surfing the net last night, I found an interesting site. Wanna play a game, entirely text-based, 300,000 words, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination?
Ever dream of being a knight who needs to slay a dragon? Hit [Play Online] (not [Download This Game]) and have an "adventure":
https://www.choiceofgames.com/category/our-games/
Believe it or not, this is an example of something we could do in computer programming right now.
