Was it possible to play on a DECwriter, or am I crossing my memory banks?

Used to play it on a portable terminal - thermal printer - 110 baud acoustic coupler modem, connected to ARPANet. That, and Hunt the Wumpus and Adventure (predecessor of Zork).

And my 16 year old complains when bandrate drops.
