Right? The graphic choice tells me what I’m getting, and they somehow made it pretty. There could be more signs telling me to play it, but I don’t really need them.
in 95 there were a lot of crappy ascii art games bcz there wasn’t anything better technologically
i mean i still have my old 3.5 and 5.25 floppy collection of sierra games published in DOS, pre-windows (since you obviously weren’t around then), that doesn’t use any ascii art. you’re the one throwing out wild anachronisms to make a point you don’t have.
yeah, i haven’t done tech support in a hot minute either and had to look up some shit too. All that makes sense, although I don’t recall it existing in the early 90s when I actually thought I knew what i was talking about.
most of the time i get the “you’re having an earthquake” text a few seconds after the shaking stops, but a few times it’s come before it started so hey
