Eliza is a classic text-based conversational simulator developed by Joseph Weizenbaum, with this DOS version released in 1988. Acting as an artificial Rogerian psychotherapist, the program engages players in natural language conversation by analyzing typed inputs to generate responsive questions and reflections.
How to Play
There are no traditional objectives or win states; the goal is simply to interact with the program and explore its conversational patterns. Use your keyboard to type statements or questions, then press Enter to receive a response. You can toggle fullscreen mode by pressing Right Alt + Enter.
Tips
- Keep your statements relatively simple and focused, as the parser relies on identifying specific keywords to generate meaningful replies.
- Try making definitive statements about your feelings or family to see how the program reflects your words back at you.
