yes, it's probably just a fantasy of former, simpler times, when text games were all we had, and they were fun :)
Leisure Suit Larry changed the world back in the '80s.
Hahaha, leisure suit Larry, huh? Had no idea he was such the innovator
First text game I knew about for computers.
Hmm, pretty sure it wasn't text anymore when I played, but very crude graphics
I suppose it depends on where we draw the line for "text based". My own original understanding was that it would have to be all text. But as it seems, a text based game can include a level of graphics as well.
Orrr, a graphics based game could include text based components
