DESCRIPTION

I ran a similar poll a whopping 7 years (!!!) ago, but I wanted to see if anything's changed.

Text-input (or parser-based) IF games have been around for a very long time: “Go north”, “Open door”, “Take apple”, “Talk to man”, etc. These are games where you type in words to say things or take actions. In SoH, if you have text-input enabled, you’ll encounter a handful of these sequences in Book 3 and beyond.

How do you feel about text-inputting in IF games?
