I thought some people here might appreciate this:

This is a restored version of the text adventure game Amnesia, originally released in 1986.

It was written by sci-fi writer Thomas M. Disch and programmed by Kevin Bentley.

Hey that's pretty neato.... I played DEADLINE  by INFOCOM back when we got our IBM 8086 computer. Had to use floppies, we couldn't afford the 1 meg hard drive, it was $1,000

It reminded me of the good old days in the Computer Lab at college.

One of my first games was “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, a text based game on my parent’s IBM PC. It came with some bonus stuff, like a baggie of pocket lint, a button that said “Don’t Panic”, and a pair of black cardboard sunglasses that “dimmed when danger was near.”

I got stuck at one point and got my parents go get me the novel to read in order to figure it out. I was 8.
