Typewriters in Interactive Fiction

• 

  Aunts and Butlers (2006)

  > x typewriter (@ Office)

  A white plastic typewriter attached by a cable to something that looks like one of those Baird televisor machines. Reflected on the screen is a miserable-looking office boy, his actions mimicking yours exactly.

• Bored Ladders (2011)

  > x typewriter (@ Treasure Room)

  It's an old typewriter, which has some dynamite in it.

• Brain of the Night Guest (2011)

  > x antique typewriter (@ Balcony)

  This typewriter is really old. The tour guide said that this was the typewriter that the original spec for the magnificent braintree was written on. You are not sure how a typewriter works, and even if you did, this one probably doesn't. Work.

• Digging Time! (2011)

  > x typewriter (@ Pluto - Central Core - Brain Tree)

  The typewriter is a heavy contraption, but looks in good shape for typing.

• Merk (2011)

  > x old typewriter (@ Back Room)

  It looks ancient! You can believe this is 100 years old.

• Nowheresville (2022)

  > x typewriter (@ Office Block)

  A Bede & Aquinas Always Clear Typewriter with a full ink ribbon.

• Porter Cave Adventure (2019)

  > x typewriter (@ WRITING ROOM)

  The typewriter is covered in a thick layer of dust. A note taped to the desk reads:
  "10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10"

• A Shadow of Helpfulman (2011)

  > x typewriter (@ Your Office)

  This is Molly's. It's so old, it's not even electric. She likes to write drafts on it instead of on her computer, which you think is adorable.

  She mentioned once that the typewriter belonged to her great-grandfather in Ireland, a hundred years ago or so -- he was some sort of revolutionary poet. Super romantic, you think.

• Unscientific Fiction (2008)

  > x typewriter (@ Office)

  After buying one supercomputer their budget probably didn't allow PC's for the regular employer.

• Vault of Hugo II: Electric Boogaloo (2011)

  > x 100 year old awesomatic-typewriter (@ The Hugo Wing)

  Unbelievable! Everybody remembers the "automatypewriter" that predates this one, but not many remember the Awesomatic-Typewriter that came much later, playing only Hugo games. This one seems to be in the middle of a game of "Quest For Museum" and is currently waiting for a command. If you feel up to the challenge, TYPE "COMMAND" ON TYPEWRITER.
