That's so funny!  I did the same thing when I was learning Python!

My cousin and I wrote some text adventure games when we were teenagers
(the code was on a TRS-80 in BASIC back then, and the BASIC program
became a kind of interpreter to interpret the adventure "program" files).

I re-wrote it in C, then Java, then Python.  I used it as a sort of
learning tool, and since Python is so good with strings, it became very
efficient.

I now have the code running on one of my web pages, so you can play the
games on-line:
