List of text-based computer games
The following list of text-based games is not to be considered an authoritative, comprehensive listing of all such games; rather, it is intended to represent a wide range of game styles and genres presented using the text mode display and their evolution across a long period.
Years listed are those in which early mainframe games and others are believed to have originally appeared. Often these games were continually modified and played as a succession of versions for years after their initial posting. (For purposes of this list, minicomputers are considered mainframes, in contrast to microcomputers, which are not.)
These are commercial interactive fiction games played offline.
These are play-by-email games played online.
These are BBS door games played online.
Torn City (2003) is played in a web browser and involves multiplayer components: it is based mainly around text and has very limited graphical elements.
