Momma don't take my mono-chrome away.

I recall playing Zork 'online' back in the early 1980s via a very old fashioned modem. You would pick up your phone, dial a number and place the handset on a base station that also connected to your computer (then an Atari, can't remember which model) . The famous words would come up on your 12 or 14 inch monitor:

West of House
You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.

Those were the days...pencils and A3 paper at the ready you would start creating the map while you followed the screen's instructions...

I bet such a game required one to use the imagination... like reading a book.

It's interesting to see how video games have provided the visuals and other details at the expense of the users' dwindling imaginations.

"Interesting" is one word for it .
