If you see this QTP with a game that released the year you were born.

Original "Personal Software" release cover for Zork, before Infocom, from 1980. The cover shows a fantasy barbarian with a glowing sword upraised, standing astride a pile of treasure, about to strike down a goblinesque creature with an axe. Behind both of them is a huge white Victorian mansion with tall roof slires and many windows, one of which is boarded up. There is a mailbox in front of the white house.

All of these details extremely loosely represent things that appear in game, except the game itself is made entirely out of descriptive text, much like this.

It's a fun one! If you see this QTP with a game that released the year you were born.
