I remember the gray background and white text of the Infocom games on the C-64. I remember after typing in a command, the disk drive light suddenly going on as the drive would noisily load something from the disk. That meant I might have done something right. This anticipation was even better with later illustrated text adventures as you were now waiting for a nice new image to load. I remember this clearly with The Pawn and The Guild of Thieves from Rainbird.
