FLAGS (Adventure Game)

From Alch3my

FLAGS was a text based adventure game known to have existed in the mid 1960s. It is known to have been played on a teleprinter/teletypewriter which was fed with yellow cloth paper. The last remaining transcript of a session was thought to be burned in the effigy at alchemy 2016. The terminal is recalled to have been in the basement of a university, with the cable leading to its mainframe leading through a concrete foundation. The mainframe has never been found. The terminal itself was reportedly destroyed in a hazing ritual. It is likely that the game can be recovered from the mainframe if found.

It was known for its cryptic and esoteric phrasing such as "FEED FLAG" and "MOV MOV MOV"
