You mean like Zork? The kind of game where you can go east, west, north, or south and then you get a description of where you are now and you have to figure out text commands to interact with the environment? I'm kind of fascinated with those games in the same way I'm fascinated with grid-based dungeon crawlers. It's such a weird way to interact with a game but oddly enthralling and evocative.
