Comment on Reviving Teletext for Ham Radioparent

Comments

I remembered my grand vision for teletext. All pages should be dedicated to a text based rpg using the Choose Your Own Adventure mechanic[0]

People want to fight orcs and goblins, ride dragons, cast magic missile and save the princess.

That (using teletext) one can update the plot dynamically makes for a fun creative challenge. Should probably draw a giant flow chart with the 999 states. When all pages are used you have to remove things before you can add things.
