Tacos

Tacos — in full TheAmazingCompleteOrganisatorShrink, "or something like that", as its own period blurb admits — is not really a game but a text-mode virtual psychiatrist in the tradition of the famous Eliza. The program quizzes you about what kind of person you are, whether you are lonely and whether you might be suffering from some illness, and helpfully offers a "cure" as well. Its author proudly announced it as the long-awaited Shrink that finally speaks Finnish.

Conversation programs of this kind had been a favourite pastime since the 1960s, but a Finnish version could only have come out of the country's 1990s BBS scene, which relished this sort of in-joke. Be warned that the program talks strictly in Finnish — which only makes the encounter more curious. Tacos runs right in your browser on OldGame.cz.
