Yes, I know the video was made by using “retro-terminal” software http://www.secretgeometry.com/apps/cathode/<http://www.secretgeometry.com/apps/cathode/> on modern hardware, but the spirit of the Infocom games is still there :

The spot halfway through where the screen matches the lyrics is really cool.
I seem to recall the Infocom games could “pace” with realtime delays in the text scrolling but that may be mis-remembering things.
