Quote:But...mental images!!
Oh come on, video games means on a computer with user input... you can't have a computer game without a computer! A BOOK isn't a COMPUTER.
Quote:Video movie: Images are displayed of events.
Text movie: Words desribe events.
Graphical game: Images are displayed of what you are doing.
Text game: Words describe what you are doing.
Sorta, yeah... but I'd still certainly say that 'text movies' are far, far more different from 'video movies' than 'text games' are to 'graphical games'. That is, movies change a lot more than games in the move from visual to text.
