This is accurate gameplay from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text adventure that INFOCOM made with the help of Douglas Adams in 1984.
I thought people would find it interesting to see the way a game would creatively do a demo in print in the 1980s since doing it other ways was either too expensive or not very useful from a marketing perspective.

It was very challenging. I never got all the way through it. Amazingly, it only covers a small portion of the first book despite taking hours and hours to play.
There's an app for android for playing these games that makes it look like you're texting back and forth
Can you share the app? Thanks!
Yep, it's called Text Fiction and I set it up a couple years back before the pandemic specifically for this game. I just took a screenshot:
Sad it says it's not compatible on my Phone.
Same for my Pixel.
Yeah sadly looks like it's not updated for newer versions of Android :/
That's neat!
