Wow, this is a cool little experiment that maps a word-vector space to a text adventure space that you walk around in.

"[The #Atari] #A300 project [...] involved a new series of Atari computers which would work as modules and plug together to form a complete computer system.

[...] an evolution of the A-300 project [...] shed all of the expansion and modular design for a low profile, high tech computer system which became the Atari 1200XL"

The House of the Dead #NotDOS
1996 arcade version (emulated) vs 1998 Windows PC port

Come take a trip with me down memory lane:

CD-MAN (DOS, 1989)

I used to play this as a kid in the early 90s. Before that I had only seen Pac-Man on the Atari 2600, which was a rather lousy version of this classic.

Here you had to collect keys to unlock parts of the map. Also, no ghosts, but spiders instead. CD-MAN still looks like Pac-Man tho 😆
