Joe's Interactive Fiction Page
From the original Adventure and Scott Adams' Adventureland through Zork,
Deadline, and Enchanter to The Multi-Dimensional Thief and Jigsaw, text
adventure games have been an important little part of my life. Though
games like Myst, Phantasmagoria and even Zork Nemesis attempt to bring us
a graphic vision with their adventures, ultimately no graphics can ever
equal the art and imagination of the mind's eye.
Interactive Fiction Reviews
Here's a few interactive fiction reviews I've written for Computer
Currents magazine. Most are graphic adventures, because, alas, few
computer magazines pay you to review text adventures anymore.
Interactive Fiction Links
Here are several good links to pages dealing with text
adventures/interactive fiction. As always, if you find a link that
doesn't work (or think I should add a new link) please let me know.
Interactive Fiction Newsgroups
There are two Usenet newsgroups that deal with Interactive Fiction;
rec.arts.int-fiction and rec.games.int-fiction. The
former is for discussion of creating such games, while the latter is for
discussion of playing them.
