Still working through this, but want to comment before it drops off the front page. Anyone interested in Interactive Fiction (infocom and all that), read this!

Still working through this, but want to comment before it drops off the front page. Anyone interested in Interactive Fiction (infocom and all that), read this! It's engaging and delightful, and covers considerable range (from Games As Literature to workaday matters of software and business) without getting tedious. Give it a look. Edited to add: this is by Graham Nelson, author of "Curses!" and other games, and creator of the Inform language.
