I heard you can make RPG''s using only text no grafix... Does anyone know how to make such games?

Well, it''s just that. You make your rpg and use text to describe the environnements, characters and events instead of relying on graphics.

I once tried to make an rogue clone in Pascal 
, and I got along pretty well. Delayed the project indefinetely after 10.000 lines. I''m still planning to come back on that one though
So, try playing ADOM, Nethack, Moria (source code is available online), till you know what theire about and then just code a simple clone.
Or if you want a text game with text commands and text descriptions of what happens (like MUDS), try Prolog ! Once you get it its _very_ easy to use, very powerfull, can do natural language processing, can compile exe, etc.
Here is a great tutorial that throws you in Prolog and before you know it you have a game !
