Well, it was meant as a joke... (see the breakthrough in gaming subject :-D )
Speaking of text based, does anyone else here remember a
real text-based version of Breakout that was available on the Prime series of mini-computers? (We're talking early 80's timesharing jobs here, with hard drives that were about 3 feet high IIRC)
It was only possible to really play this thing when all the other users on the system (or most of them at any rate) were logged off. (I think that's why a friend of mine kept hacking it, to kick everyone off so he could enjoy his game... :-D )
