I don't know how old this is and frankly I don't care. This Pac-Txt, an idea so stupid it is actually genius. Described as Pac-Man meets Zork, Pac-Txt is, quite simply, an old school text-based adventure that manages to retain all the gameplay of classic Pac-Man. Now you can enjoy the nostalgic fun of moving and eat dots, but in text form!
Check it out, get typing and enjoy the three minutes it will take for the joke to wear thin. Also, let Destructoid know your high score, whether you completed a level and just how long it took you to stop. No, I swear I want to know.

I'm not going to play it, though.

And here is some Iwatani-san!
“The whole purpose of Pac-Man was to target women and couples, and get a different type of player involved.”
What, so this is for the shut-ins who played Zork back in the day?
You make a valiant effort to bite in the air, alas there is nothing there.
