The article says that they played "Warriors of Freedom.'' I'm sure you've heard of it. Wait a minute........no, you haven't (at least, I hadn't). A guy submitted this bit of info to HardOCP:
Good grief! So all of us who played Zork are friggin' nuts?!? Wait 'til the media finds out about Quake and the rest of our FPS games.

I decided to look up “Warriors of Freedom”, and found it to be quite interesting. It’s a text based browser game, set up in a medieval era. It’s TURN BASED. Wow, if that’s what is causing kids to freak now, I think we are all in trouble. Last time I played a text based RPG, I had the option of going North, East, South, or to check the mail. These games are about as close to benign as possible.
