I think that one would, er, rock.

While researching this on the web I found this OLD game text saved for posterity Commodore 64

The goal of Project 64 is to preserve Commodore 64 related documents

in electronic text format that might otherwise cease to exist with the

rapid advancement of computer technology and declining interest in 8-

bit computers on the part of the general population.

Extensive efforts were made to preserve the contents of the original

document. However, certain portions, such as diagrams, program

listings, and indexes may have been either altered or sacrificed due

to the limitations of plain vanilla text. Diagrams may have been

eliminated where ASCII-art was not feasible. Program listings may be

missing display codes where substitutions were not possible. Tables

of contents and indexes may have been changed from page number

references to section number references. Please accept our apologies

for these limitations, alterations, and possible omissions.

Document names are limited to the 8.3 file convention of DOS. The

first characters of the file name are an abbreviation of the original

document name. The version number of the etext follows next. After

that a letter may appear to indicate the particular source of the

document. Finally, the document is given a .TXT extension.

BREAKTHROUGH IN THE ARDENNES MANUAL

=======================

interesting:

By December 27, the 2nd Panzer Division had been mauled by the U.S. and 2nd Armored Division near Celles and had to retreat back to Rockhefort. The 9th Panzer was attacking the 84th Infantry near Marche. The 9th SS Panzer had pushed the 82nd Airborne which was now holding a line from Trois Ponts to Manhay. The U.S. 4th Armored Division managed to open a narrow corridor into Bastogne and had linked up with the valiant defenders of the 101st Airborne. On the south flank the Germans held positions across the Sure River against attacks by the 80th, 26th and 35th Infantry Divisions.
