![]() ![]() MrDemeanour ( talk) 15:51, 9 January 2022 (UTC) Reply You should't use WP as a reference for this stuff, but if you're still talking the statement over at video game, that statement related to text adventure games does not say they are not video games, but may be considered computer games since they can be played without a monitor. If I screwed up some links, that's my bad I should have delinkified them. The right article to fix is this one, not that one. Furthermore, there is a direct contradiction between referring to ADVENT as a video game, and the clear statement in video games that text adventures are not video games. Not even graphics terminals there were text-mode terminals ("glass teletypes"), but most people didn't have them. M asem ( t) 15:19, 9 January 2022 (UTC) Reply Actually, it does mean that there were no "video screens" when the game was made. More importantly, you went through every use of "video game" and replaced that with "computer game" which broke several links and context ( ). MrDemeanour ( talk) 15:06, 9 January 2022 (UTC) Reply Just because you may have played it on a teletype printer, doesn't mean it wasn't also playable on video screens. So, User:Masem, would you please restore my edit? Thanks. You could certainly play on a glass teletype but to refer to a glass teletype as a 'video' is stretching it. ![]() So is the claim that printed output is 'video'? You couldn't imagine playing on the display, which was really just for echoing input. A completed game required several inches thickness of fanfold paper. I first played ADVENT on a machine with a 20x8-character gas-discharge display, and a console printer (Supervisory Printed Output, or 'SPO'). Silicon Graphics, Jupiter, and Tektronix terminals hadn't been invented. ADVENT does not.ĪDVENT arrived at a time when there were essentially no video monitors. Secondly, note that in video games, it says: "Computer games are not all video games-for example text adventure games, chess, and so on do not depend upon a graphics display." So the WP article on video games implicitly notes that video games are computer games that require a graphics display. User:Masem reverted my change from "video game" to "computer game", saying that on WP, computer games and video games are the same thing.įirstly, I would like a citation for that claim.
