    There are far better historical sources to study, such as Wolf3D, the classic BSD games, or even Word 1.1.

    Indeed, bsd-games were not mentioned. Here's a list: https://github.com/msharov/bsd-games

    There was Sleuth also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleuth_(video_game)

    Personally I enjoyed IF like TATCTAE (Time: All Things Come To An End), Jigsaw and Curses! which where included in early GNU/Linux distributions (unbeknownst to me at that time that much other int-fiction was being created, since we were exploring the OS distributions offline, InfoMagic CDs etc.)

    Before that, BBS door games existed (much avoided because exhuberant dialup costs). Typing in BASIC source code from books lent from the library (mostly text-based games). My interest was piqued by MUDs at one point afterwards, but never really got active (again because of dialup costs to connect to the Internet).
