Frotz is a fun gem from the oldest school of gaming. No fancy graphics, gimmicks or big explosions (at least visually). These are interactive stories involving just the text, where users read, and respond with text directing the continuation of the story. Part of the fun is goofing it all up, making the wrong decisions and the thrill of figuring out the right thing to type. Then, to attempt to guide the story to its conclusion.
That, was the very beginning of computer RPGs, with much elements carrying into our modern games. Choose from the pile already available or download new stories from the Interactive Fiction Database (IFDB.com). Check out the original 1979 classic, "Zork," download the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" or my personal favorite "Being Andrew Plotkin."
