Default Are console games still fun?

Hey all! Before I even think about diving into win32 api's or directX I plan to finish a little console app of mine lol. It's going to be a game that uses a console interface. I perosnailly higlight text to make "fake" windows in game. While it may looks cluttered at times, I enjoy making it. Hard to explain what this game is about, but you can make your own character and class through text. Then fight in duels, gain credits, buy equipment, level up, and even craft and run a little bussiness and farm and it will let you choose your region of where you want. It also is turned based, every "city turn" is one day, and it adds to the months and years. Also weather is based on the month and slitly random. So far I havened done the combat part, I just assigned variables so I'm ready, and I got the weather to work through many if statements. I'm a noob in programming, but I enjoy making this console app. Heres some starting pics:
