Zork and the other Infocom adventures were a big thing for me from age 16 on.
The first text adventure I ever played was the great progenitor of them all as far as I know. At age 15, I spent a day exploring Adventure or Hall of the Mountain King on a huge old Wang at UCSF. As suggestive as that may sound, it is absolutely accurate. The computers then were bigger than computer desks are now.
There was also the first (again, as far as I know) build-a-civilization type computer game... called Hammurabi. You play the king and you divert resources between agriculture and other factors in an attempt to improve Babylon.
Those the earlier program may have been written sometime around 1972, back when computers wheeze dust and gerbils ran on exercise wheels to slowly spin the disk drives.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Drow yet. Heartbreakers, every last one of them.
I regard Drow as a matriarchal society, with the men relegated to little more than slaves.
Drow women prefer relationships between each other, not for any feeling of love, but from what benefits such alliances might grant them in society, such as prestige, intimidation, favours, information, resources etc.
Drow women regard their men little more than cattle, useful only for manual labour, menial tasks beneath the contempt of females, or as breeding stock.
Meanwhile, men are used to a harsh life, and tend to form bonds between one another as can occur in prison, the military, or other segregated environments.

Lords of Madness peggs them as asexual reproducers. I'm not sure it it's 'selfing or just cloning; are they worms or geckoes?

I don't, and I like how that is likely going to change in Pathfinder, as they ditch that b~@!$ with all her spiders and reinstate a demon pantheon. No more angst-ridden rangers, lesbian priestesses, and weird "laws" and back to eating babies and all those other "cool" atrocities.

But...but...I don't have any children! Does that mean I can't be flamed?
