1. A screenshot from the 1993 game "Eric the Unready". To the left is the user interface with options buttons (such as "help" and "map), a compass with directions, and two lists, one of all the available verbs and another of all the items in the game location. The right side is divided in two. On top there's a picture of the current location. It shows a pig half submerged in a brown sludge. Underneath it is the text input/output area. It displays the title "Up To Your Knees in It". Right under the under entered a command to "eat shit". The game responded with the following text: "A waiter appears out of nowhere, sets up an elegant table, and lays a place setting for one. Не lights the candelabra and says, ‘Our specials today are shit pate, shit under glass, roast shit, broccoli, and shit florentine. For а wine we have... we have..."’ He stops in mid sentence and slaps himself on the forehead. “Oh my gods, we’re all out of wine. You can’t eat shit without wine! I’m so embarrassed.” He packs up his materials and disappears."
