I'm glad that they get to eperience this much gratitude even now for such awsome games! I'm definitely looking into this documentory!

[Calingaladha]

All the cool people play MU*s :) I want to see this documentary

[FourtyParsecs]

@FourtyParsecs you are in a forest.

[FeastFX]

the portion on blind players is very interesting and awesome to hear their perspectives of developing imaginative scaffolding of the worlds with the mind.

I remember playing the Infocom games (the Zork series was my favorite) and they were enjoyable although at times it could get frustrating trying to figure out some of the puzzles of a particular game. I am looking forward to seeing this video.

[PeekyBooo]

Best text-adventures were on TRS-80. Raka-tua (spelling?) was one of them. 

[einhorn303]

The only thing I wonder about is if it focuses purely on old-school Infocom type games, or if it also looks at the new Interactive Fiction, like Emily Short and all that?

[cpdavngr]

This sounds great! :)

[Naiice]

really looking forward to get it this year!

[gar0u73]

Jason's BBS documentary is truly outstanding. If you liked it, and you're excited to see Get Lamp, please pre-order a copy and show your support. I just bought mine.

[GavalinB]

Looking forward to this! Still playing MUSHes like OtherSpace!

[nooksak1]

I can't wait to see this!

[antdude]

When is this documentary coming out? :)

[kadumskoaldiak]

According to their website, it will be premiering at PAX East

[antdude]

Thanks man.

[gar0u73]

@antdude Sometime in 2010.

[antdude]

@gar0u73 Cool. We still have less than seven months left. ;)

[jhohcable]

After seeing the AWESOME BBS Documentary these guys did, I can't wait to see Get Lamp, whenever it gets done.

[Madisonmofo]

I still credit MUDs for teaching me to type.

[EvilCensor]

Same here :o)

[debut720]

I hope this movie sees the light of day. I really miss those days when I came back home with a new game and spent hours trying to solve it. Thank you for making this.

[EvildeadCellar]

Bunch of idiots talking about what they don't know.

Waste of time.

[datavortex]

Want to buy! Very excited about seeing the film.

[sirgarence]

I presume the beardy guy was Steve Meretzky, but who were the others?

[DroogInPhoenix]

Zork! Looking forward to the completion. I enjoyed the BBS documentary.

[herrcafe]

the background music is beth sorrentino's 'beautiful day'.

[derboschtel]

anybody knows who plays the music in the background? I really like it...

[derboschtel]

just found it out myself:

Beth Sorrentino - the song ist called Feel this Way or Beautyful Day on the Demo-Tapes.

You can listen to it on beth's mypsace site.

[surfingthechaos]

look

[bestinshow77]

We spent many late nights playing Scott Adams adventure games and other games. I am looking forward to seeing this!

[moo99]

I don't think this a very good teaser - it doesn't say much at all about the film's subject matter in concrete terms. It's too esoteric. You say more in the description at right.

[pjmattf]

Therein lies the difference between a Teaser and a regular Trailer.

[tubbiele2]

I think IF (or "Text adventures", which was the way I knew them in the 8 bit times) is a interesting theme enough to make a documentary. Videogames are a primitive kind of art... Perhaps this genre is one of the most advanced ones! Don't know, I've returned to the IF stuff recently! ^^ Good luck!

You say, "Good stuff, looking forward to the full release."

[archmedic]

Damn! Great to see you working on another doc! Loved "BBS".. passed it around to many folks.

[Ambrosine]

I have been looking forward to this documentary ever since I first heard about it - especially after watching the BBS doc from the same folks. Can't wait!

You are in a maze of snarky little comments, all different.
