Giving credit where it's due, the article mentions Infocom (to which I'd add -style) interactive fiction, which I think solidly count as command-line-only video games even if the command line in question is internal to the game.
- intrasight 4y ago> is internal to the game How's that work?
- dllthomas 4y agoThe interface for one of those games is entirely text (sentences, not ascii art) presented before a prompt where you type a command, which will provoke more sentences and another prompt. I think it's perfectly legitimate to call that a command line, even if we might want to distinguish it from "the command line".
