Well, that's how the DOS games worked, I imagine there's limits to what one can do when programming in DOS. Considering I was about 8 or 10 when I played many of these games, the fact that there were games I could actually play on the computer was really cool. Unfortunately, because I was so young, I didn't buy any of them. I still have demos for several of them lying around somewhere, but I have no idea where at the moment. I didn't get into text adventures until a few years later, and I'm not very good at them, depending on how complicated they are anyway. Thanks for the info on Rainy Day Games. There's definitely enough of that stuff going around, so you wouldn't need to remake them.
