I wonder if younger people would play these games if they were fully graphical, as in all rooms have graphics, animations, objects disappear when you get them etc.

I got my son to play the text adventures for some 30 minutes, but he lost interest and went to play Roblox... In another instance, I got him to type a full 100-200 command walkthrough while I read the commands, he enjoyed it but didn't want to do it again.
