Ah sorry, I misunderstood.

You'll need to look back earlier than Sierra games. By the time the SCI interpreter was out, text parsers had really fallen out of favor.

I had a graphical text game called The Tracer Sanction (pic related), it was a PC Booter. Some others are Trekboer, The Vortex Factor, Mindshadow.

The ICOM adventures - Deja Vu, Shadowgate, Uninvited - were available for DOS and NES, though I think the DOS versions used the arrow keys to control a mouse cursor. Its been literally 25 years since I played Uninvited for DOS so my memory may be inaccurate.

Hope this helps.
