You forgot the best part of text-based adventure games, which was inputting some ridiculous command and having the game tell you "I don't understand that."

Nice. I'd play the text version.

You've also been picked up by boingboing, so many comments will likely follow.

I remember those games.. and strangely was reminded of the old Kings Quest when you can't do something...

"You can't do that. At least not now."

This is one of the greatest things ever written!

My favorite text-based game was a pirate adventure one that I played on my C-64. With a tape drive! Woo!

Awesome!

How about linking it to eBay some how (by search?) and then roll all of the eCrap together. Size could be based on shipping cost.

You are standing at the eBay Entrance

You see collectibles to the north, automobiles to the west, ...
A life-size cutout of the hamburgler is ending soonest
