#textadventures

"People who are interested in interactive fiction but who haven’t played much or any of it ask me for suggestions from time to time — not as often as I’d like, of course, but, luckily, once in a while. I’ve had a page of recommendations up on my site since 2005. The games on that list remain good ones, but I’m now updating those recommendations to take into account games from recent years. I’m posting the new recommendations here. Note that many of the people who ask me about IF are of a literary bent, as am I, and my suggestions reflect that."

"On the plus side the growing realization that something odd is definitely going on is well done."

"Welcome to IFComp 2007, the competition for short text adventures."

"I think of my time as a valuable currency that must be earned by anyone who wants me to exchange it for whatever they’re selling."
