This would have been 1979 or so.

I grew up on parser-based games, although I was on the latter end, when Sierra started introducing graphics into the equation. I had some interaction with the later Zork games when I was young. Interesting how I enjoy the classics as much or more now than I did then. Thank goodness for Emulation. Those old disks just don't last forever... Great memories for many of us.
