Thought this would amuse you. It's a signature in guess where? lol

You are in a small dark room, with many doors all leading to identical
narrow twisting passages. You have no lives left, and your torch is
dwindling. You can hear the patter of evil goblins' feet getting closer
behind you. You are in the Ebay help system.

This is (very similar to) a room desription in the very first computer
adventure game, written in FORTRAN on a mainframe computer, in the days
when an interactive terminal was a TeleTYpewriter, not a CRT monitor.
It was later ported to BASIC on nearly all the early personal computers,
like the TRS-80, and was the basis of Zork, the first Infocom adventure.

No point and click in them days, not even any pictures, just text
descriptions, and (mainly) two word commands, but , like radio, you got
better images.
