In the early days of computers I was a kid with a 110 baud teletype (keyboard+printer all in one). I played star trek, and it would print out a sector map of you, stars, and enemies. To print each character would spin a little sphere and bank it on the paper. I played it for endless hours. I could recognize klingons by the noise of printing **.
Then finally I got a hazeltine 1410 terminal, that ran at 300 baud. Playing on that was frustratingly slow/boring. No entertainment/drama of the printing.
