Stumbled across this in Digg's 'upcoming stories' section and thought it might provide some light relief to the debate going on below. Profanity Adventures is a compilation of screenshots showing what happened when you typed swear worlds into early eighties text adventures. I like the way several of the examples provide custom responses to different words. That's professionalism for you.
Yes it's purile, but beyond the profanity, the site is also a reminder of the variety of stories explored in this genre and the way in which such simple narratives managed to engross us. It could also be argued that swearing in text adventures was the origin of in-game transgressive behaviour leading indirectly to 'exploits' like rocket jumping. Have I justified this entry enough yet?
Anyway, did you ever get up to this juvenile nonsense?
