It's a choose your own adventure. It's got some neat graphics, but they're just decorative. You don't interact with them. There would be nothing different about the game if they were stripped out and you played the game through an 80-column command line.
The graphics are mostly 'functional', I wouldn't even go as far as calling them 'neat'.
There's basically only two kinds of graphics in the game: a world map and the icon for the items you can buy and sell. (Unless they changed the game, I haven't played in more than a year.)
It's been years since I played it, but I remember there being some fairly intricate vector illustrations in certain locations. A vague memory of some sort of giant land-walking robot you rode for a while. It may have had some animation, or that might just be my imagination.
