This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What game?
Not OP. I remember when I was little, playing computer games that were completely on the keyboard (we didn't even have a mouse.) They were stored on floppy disks and would start up by just inserting them into the computer. I'm not sure if you're asking as a fellow old-school gamer seeking nostalgic connections, or as someone who's never played old games and is simply curious, but I did find this list of early games pretty interesting.
There are a number of adaptations of classic arcade games, pop culture tie-ins, and even flight simulators. It amazes me how much floppy disks used to be able to accomplish.
