Retro-game (OT)

[Barry Arrowsmith]

Those that struggled and cursed with pre-GUI computers (ah! that  
heady day when you up-graded to a PC-AT with 1 Meg RAM and a hard  
disk all of ooh! a massive 30 Meg) may remember with nostalgia the  
old text-based adventure games.
Well, if you've a Mac running OS X there's one buried deep in its  
innards, lurking in the UNIX emacs text editor.

Go to Utilities - Terminal, fire it up and type in
emacs -batch -l dunnet
Hit Return and:
"You are at a dead end of a dirt road. The road goes east. In the  
distance you can see that it will eventually fork off."

If you're a Mac user you probably knew about  this already. So why  
didn't you  tell me?

If you're not a Mac user - tsk, tsk, tsk.
