Get the Darn Lamp!

Have you guys ever heard of text adventures? (Sometimes they are refered to the formal name, Interactive Fiction.)

Hint: If you look closely in Call Of Duty: Black Ops, you might find a text adventure to play...

Below is a trailer for a very recent documentary on Interactive Fiction, called "Get Lamp". The full movie is available for purchase.
