Choose Your Game
HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy
A game written by the author of the original books - all his style, but not quite the same. One of the best.
Spider and Web
A futuristic spy story that won a lot of the Xyzzy awards (one of the two interactive fiction gaming awards). Most of the game happens in flashbacks. Everybody seems to like this one.
Zork I
One of the most famous text adventures; this one spawned many others. Just don't forget your lantern!
Yagwad
Yet another game with a dragon. A parody game of all those other hack 'n slash games. In game hints included.
The Meteor, the Stone and a Long Glass of Sherbet
A game by one of the masters of the genre, Graham Nelson. Its a lot like the old infocom games from MIT. In game hints included.
Wadewars III
I get the idea that the author was too lazy to make the other two short stories he wrote into games. So here's his
first
game.
All Roads
A supernatural-suspense-espionage-thriller. It won 1st place in the interactive fiction competition (yes, there is one, and yes, they are still having them) in 2001.
Balances
Another game by the great Graham Nelson. This one is a sequal to the Enchanter trilogy. Its a short game.
