Profoundly Nerdy<p>Does anyone here remember playing a Superman game that was a plain text simulation? "Superman" had to count calories evey time he used his powers and could easily run out. There were four simultaneous villains, but once committed you couldn't move between them or you'd automatically lose the game. I can't find this game. <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/tipofmyjoystick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tipofmyjoystick</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/basic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>basic</span></a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>askfedi</span></a></p>

Digital Mark λ ☕️ 🕹 🙄<p>And you shouldn't think this is a plain text editor with a compiler. It's a structured BASIC editor that only beeps and doesn't let you leave a line that's invalid.
