Welcome to the world of text based gaming.

If you remember computers in the 80's, then you possibly remember the old style text role-playing games based on 'bulletin boards' (the rudiments of the internet).
That these types of games are still around today, in various forms, are a testament to their playability.

Text based games are found in many flavours, from role-playing, to adventure, to Player Vs Player fighting, to exploration and trading. Some, like 4dimensions, take a more general approach to this and have proportions of all those above.

People fall in love with text based gaming. And it is very accessable because it is without the restrictions of a video card, high powered computer, or fast connection.

It submerses the player in world that is as rich and vibrant as the imaginations of the creative writers that design the areas.
Consider reading a book where you are the main character, your actions constantly change who you are; battle legendary beasts, fall in love, get married, have children, Quest for treasure, travel through time; from the distant future and explore planets, to ancient Mediterranean oceans here on earth.
