THE APPROPRIATE PLACE FOR TEXT-BASED GAMES?

CloseI've started messing around with Inform again and have just made a text-based Blackjack game. I'd like to share it with the community for testing/feedback/whatever but it isn't really suitable for a gamepage since the screenshots would literally just be some text. Any suggestions?
I'm nobody official, but I'm pretty sure text screenshots still count as screenshots if your game is solely text-based, in fact I seem to remember other games like that still having gamepages, so I'd think it'd be okay for you to make a gamepage.
Yeah, we've denied some text games that were really basic before, but then again, Battledome is a thing (though I don't know anything about how basic these kinds of things can get, so...).
I do know that we have a downloadable board game on the site and some text-based RPGs. If you're worried that it's too simple, perhaps make a few of them and bundle them together as a pack. That would be more than enough to satisfy me.

Okay, next question: what sort of casino games do you think it would be neat to see as text representations? :P
Pffft. Magic the Gathering. No, I'm kidding.
"You draw Shivan Dragon"
"You tap 5 red mana."
"Shivan Dragon gets +5/+0 until the end of the turn."
Actually though MtG fans are probably geeky enough to be satisfied by that. They seem okay with simple pictures.

*contemplates trying to code Magic: the Gathering in Inform*
*shoots self in face*
Edit: Is it bad that I'm actually considering this?

How about Pazaak?
(and text based games are fine! There are dozens of them. Dozens! Still, it wouldn't hurt to have a nice splash screen to use as your gameprofiles main image)

For the most part, as long as it looks like it has content and there are three different screens (different text~ in this case) AND you mention that it's text based in some way, it should be fine.
Random number generators don't count, btw. Juuuuuust throwing that out there.

The answer to this topic question is simple: On my computer.

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.
