Gradius Text Adventure
Length: 4:28
Description: Ever wonder how Gradius would play out as a text game (remember Zork?)
Here's a fake game I made up with Photoshop to show how a text version of Gradius would or wouldn't work.
It's been pointed out that true text adventures don't have the C: prompt - that comes from a long span of not playing text games, and creating this video with pure DOS and Photoshop.

>North >North >South >South >West >East >West >East >Push B Button >Push A Button You are suprised as a strange clanging sound comes from deep within the Vic Viper's hull! Just as suddenly, four Options erupt out of open space, and begin mimiking your every motion, even attacks! You are even more suprised as two glowing blue energy balls appear in front of you. A shield! You disregard any questions of how this happened, and continue forward!
