Text Adventure Video Games
To be honest, I think the most satisfying games are the old Adventure games where you had to enter commands in text. Like "GO WEST", "TAKE LANTERN", "READ SIGN". Whether it had still images to go with it (like Lucifer's Realm or Gruds in Space) or was entirely text (like Zork, Bureaucracy, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), it actually made you think (unlike most games these days where you basically just shoot at anything that moves).
