Gears of War writer Tom Bissell on video games and storytelling
The first video game I ever fell in love with had no graphics whatsoever. It was all text, and text alone: dim green, amber, or white characters on a dark background-that's all the earliest monitors could handle. It was a game from the mid-eighties, based on the Douglas Adams novel, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."
