>ASK TV TROPES ABOUT TEXT PARSER HISTORY

"The text parser really got started with Crowther and Wood's ''[[Colossal Cave Adventure]]'', but it was not until ''[[~~Zork (Video Game)|~~Zork]]'' came along that more advanced forms of the parser came along. The parser used in the classic [[Infocom]] games was called ZIL ([[~~Zork (Video Game)|~~Zork]] Interactive Language). The text parser gradually disappeared from commercial computer gaming in the early 1990s (replaced by [[Action Bar]] and [[Point and Click Game|Point and Click]] interfaces) as game designers wished to reach a different demographic. Fortunately for text fans, a large number of hobbyists have continued to design text parser based [[Interactive Fiction]]. If you'd like to know more, check out the [[Interactive Fiction]] article here on [[TV Tropes]]."
