    Thank you for this. I really enjoy interactive fiction. Maybe I'm just old-school, but I feel typing an action on a keyboard is more fulfilling and engaging than most graphics-intensive games on the market today. My personal favorite IF game is Babel by Ian Finley. Thanks again.

    Fortran... LOL. was that a language?? Great video on the history, enjoyed it. What about IF books aimed at readers not gamers though? IF that moves along by selecting dialogue choices and actions as opposed to parser style, in other words hypertext fiction not parser games.

    A book shows you a world.  Interactive fiction places you in one. ^_^
