Text-based games?

Seeing as though the XBOX 360 supports a keyboard, would it be possible to create text-based keyboard input games?

Thanks.

The XNA Framework supports it (Keyboard on 360) so yes you could. Our font and UI features aren't quite as full featured in V1 as we would like so there may be a bit of extra work but you can do it.

Thanks a bunch. I just wanted to port my super-fun RPG (still under construction, after 1 year of on and off work) to the 360, now I can :).

Woohooo! Zork on the 360! :)

If anyone actually writes a Z-code interpreter (that can run Zork and the hundreds of other games on the platform), I for one will be pretty pleased.
