I'm really fascinated by that era of computer gaming, well that era of computers in general. I've been following this blog about text games since I first seen it on HN. https://if50.substack.com/ https://if50.substack.com/ The earlier entries talk about some of the same stuff mentioned in this article. Reading about these things, I dunno, it reminds me of the wild west or something. All these university students and programmers writing illicit games like outlaws, hiding their games under simple file names that became almost memes for the ones in the know at the school. It's really cool and those people are the reason why video games and computers became a thing. Everytime I learn more about the early history of computers or even video games it always makes me happy. I dunno, to see how far it's all come, to have grown up watching a lot of it evolve. It's just always great to read about.
