In order to truly appreciate what you are looking at you may need to: acquire a teletype machine, purge your memory of everything you know about computers (except FORTRAN and COBOL), and travel back to 1976. I guarantee you that you will be astonished by this amazing leap in technology. More seriously though, Lists and Lists is a concept game from 1996 based upon the text adventure games that were popular in the 1980's. It implements a subset of Scheme for the z-machine, which was an early virtual machine in the JVM sense of a virtual machine (both from a technical perspective, and the "write once, run anywhere" perspective). While it's ability to interpret language was quite limited, it was certainly sufficient for exploring complex virtual worlds.
