Adventureland

Back in 1978, Scott Adams introduced players to Adventureland, one of the very first text adventures. It’s a game where every command is a leap of faith: type “GET LAMP” and hope the parser understands you. Compared to modern standards, it’s primitive—but in 1978, it was groundbreaking. Players could explore, solve puzzles, and feel like pioneers in a new digital frontier. It’s less about winning and more about touching a piece of gaming history. Honestly, half the fun now is just seeing how far we’ve come.
