Evidently. Belgium borders Holland, not Denmark. You mean Dutch. (Or more correctly, Flemish).
Close enough, starts with a D.

Belgium sucks so much balls in eurovision we can't even get past the semi-finals, goddamn you RTBF.

How do you reckon 90% of people end up getting married?
They progressively lower their standards until they find a mate?

Ease of use has nothing to do with the fact that you are still typing commands be they a number or a phrase.
Easier than text interface? So is using a point-and-click interface, such as a mouse. Uroboros is quite correct, what you are looking for is a game that is not a game. Besides brevity there is nothing different between text and numbers. You are looking at the user interface systems, you are looking for a system that requires minimal input. And yet you reject the mouse as an avatar, but you say that numbered keys are not? And in tetris the arrow keys are the interface. What is typed on specific keys on your keyboard means nothing. In games you can tie any game command to a key. If a game used 4 numbers for its user interface (1234), you can tie the game that uses those numbers to use the asdf keys or even the arrow keys instead and it will still make no difference in playing the game or in how many keys you type. I agree with Uroboros - what you are looking for does not exist.

How is hitting (typing) a number any different from typing a command?

It is what it is... you don't have a game that has no user input or interface. The mouse is not a character, but simply the method with which you interact with the game.

I loved this show but stopped watching it a few years ago. Is it still good, worth looking at again or has it gone downhill over time like the very channel that it is on?

The idea that instead of feet the creatures would wear sneakers.
I know they were apparently considering it.

After that many years of working and a game and not releasing it the only excuse has to be sheer incompetence on the developer's part. Burn, baby burn.

JJ is one of the people behind Lost and a couple other shows. If you don't watch Lost, you doubtless have friends who do, and hear them talking about the show all the time. One of the big things in Lost is all the hidden details and clues that lead fans to analyze screencaps of the show for every last clue and hidden meaning.
Yes, when it first started they wouldn't shut up about it. But even with those clues I hear the plot STILL makes little sense so in addition to almost being work, its pointless work as well.
