There was a post on lemmy a couple of weeks ago about an old, hard, I think text based game. I wanted to look it up but forgot the name and I can’t seem to find it anymore. Any help with this would be really appreciated.
Edit: I don’t think it’s on the list of text based games on Wikipedia. I’ve added a comment with some meagre details I can remember
The post referred to it being something they always went back to and it being a lightweight game (maybe from the 90s)
I found it!!! Nethack is what I was looking for. Not text based but ascii. Sorry for the super vague question. It was mentioned in passing on some forum talking about ascii/text-based games.

You realize there was a good decade between the first home PC games and the time when computer mice became ubiquitous, right? You’re going to have to say something about the game other than “text based”, because that’s no more descriptive than “mouse based” or “gamepad based”.
