This is probably a strange question but did anyone save any of the teleprinter printouts of those old text-based computer games?

Like you know how for chess people saved and wrote down all the moves of these old games?
Did anyone go
>"damn, I fucking destroyed Colossal Cave Adventure! I'm saving this game, people gotta see this!"
>"i killed all those Kligon ships in record time! i gotta show my buddy this!"
and snag the printout paper to keep as proof of their achievement?

I think that The Sumerian Game from 1964 is lost as an actual program, but The Strong National Museum of Play has three printouts of its gameplay as museum exhibits.

They recreated it to the best of their ability using not only those printouts but also all of the projection slides (which were also somehow preserved) that the actual players would have displayed for them at various points depending on what was happening.

Never saved a game print out but I used to print out Usenet newsgroups and archived them. Since I'm not a hoarder, I got rid of them decades ago, but at one time I had quite the collection.

In my day we printed out copies of the Terrorist's Handbook and Anarchist's Cookbook, and lists of D&D-themed jokes and Christmas songs.

Oh, ring their bells with swords and spells,
Don't let 'em get away
We're brave and bold for fame and gold
We'll make a lot today, HEY

it has more video images than any purely text based game thanks to the projector.

Printer paper is just a screen with 0Hz refresh rate.

If you hang the paper up and gently blow a fan on it you can achieve 1-3Hz as it waves in the breeze. The image practically comes to life.

They were blasting her with x-rays too but that part was only in the fine print.
