A text adventure (or "interactive fiction") is the type of game commonly found on computer servers before someone had the idea to draw a map in ASCII characters, thus creating the roguelike games including NetHack. As the NetHack Guidebook explains it: don't trust wiki For an example of what a text adventure game would be like, see the strip of 8 March 2005 in Dudley's dungeon.

  • A text adventure (or "interactive fiction") is the type of game commonly found on computer servers before someone had the idea to draw a map in ASCII characters, thus creating the roguelike games including NetHack. As the NetHack Guidebook explains it: don't trust wiki When NetHack's ancestor rogue first appeared, its screen orientation was almost unique among computer fantasy games. Since then, screen orientation has become the norm rather than the exception; NetHack continues this fine tradition. Unlike text adventure games that accept commands in pseudo-English sentences and explain the results in words, NetHack commands are all one or two keystrokes and the results are displayed graphically on the screen. From Chapter 3, "What do all those things on the screen mean?" For an example of what a text adventure game would be like, see the strip of 8 March 2005 in Dudley's dungeon. Or you can read the demonstration in the next section. There is another wiki devoted entirely to text adventures/interactive fiction. As NetHack has changed since the days of Rogue, text adventures have changed since the olden days.
