CompTalk

CompTalk 1.6 is a tiny chat simulator from the Finnish home-computer scene of the 1990s. Its original BBS blurb proudly calls it "the best chat sim 4ever" — a silly chat simulator that "can answer almost ANYTHING". In practice it is a simple text chatbot for DOS: type a line and the program fires back an answer with unshakeable confidence, whether it makes sense or not.

Programs like this were a popular joke on Finnish bulletin board systems — half the fun was sitting a friend down at the keyboard and claiming they were talking to a real person. The author and exact release year are unknown; only the period BBS description survives.

It is a small curiosity from a scene international retro sites rarely cover, and it runs right in your browser here on OldGame.cz.
