1970s mainframe RPGs we can no longer play
I would encourage anyone with a little extra time to read about the PLATO system. Truly ahead of its time, invented by an engineer at University of Illinois named Don Bitzer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Bitzer" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Bitzer</a><p>I was fortunate to have a parent who worked for Dr. Bitzer and we had a PLATO terminal at home, hardwired in to the university mainframe at 1200 Bd. Played most of the games mentioned in the article along with Empire, a Star Trek-inspired multiplayer team game. Great memories.
