There’s nothing really new in this story, but it’s still good to see my favorite game genre get some good press.
Along with simulated space battles and table-tennis matches, interactive fiction (IF) is one of the oldest of computer-game forms. Though far gone from its commercial heyday in the graphics-impaired ’80s, when it was still called “text adventure” and titles like Zork and Planetfall flew off the shelves, IF today is in the midst of a kind of renaissance, surviving and thriving thanks to a dedicated community of creators, consumers and critics, an inimitable art form that does what no other media can.–Toronto Star
