Tonight I discovered you can play Adventure (aka Colossal Cave) - the original text adventure game - on the website for the AMC show Halt and Catch Fire (which I have watched the first 2 seasons of btw). The game play is on a "simulated PC screen circa 1983" with green text on a dark background, but with artwork accompanying certain rooms. No save but it seems to remember where you are if you leave the page.
