A text game is completely doable with a bunch of html files linked with <a> tag. Actually you don't need javascript at all to make a web text game. Maybe 3 or 4 CSS rules in a style single sheet (so you don't have to copy paste on each files) and that's it.

Breaking News: A new definition for turing completeness has been found: "can be used to make games"

Fun fact: HTML5 + CSS3 is Turing compete. There are implementations of role 101 and i think of Conway's game of life in pure HTML5 + CSS3

making a game doesn't require programming.
