I'm getting ready to spend a week playing the Interactive Fiction Competition games! Every November I get excited to play the new entries. It reminds me of being a kid in the early 1980's and getting a new Infocom game for Christmas. I makes me so happy that there are other people who not only feel the same way I do about IF, but they actually write spectacularly fun games!

- chatterhead 4y agoHoly hell. Is this just like one big ass MUD adventures convention? Pretty cool, man.
- sbf501 4y agoNo, it is interactive fiction: text-based solo games. Up until about 15 years ago it was entirely Zork-like games. But then they started added "choose your own adventure"-style interfaces, instead of open-ended language interfaces, which I don't like. But every year there are handful of really good games, and sometimes a complete showstopper.
