INTERACTIVE FICTION: Lost Again

Posted on February 16, 2004 by Susan

How much more excitement can you get: You’re in the deserted mansion of your father looking for money, find a contraption on the table, open it to reveal — a clove of garlic. Love this type of format for it’s … Continue reading → Continue reading →

INTERACTIVE FICTION: Adventures of Helpful Man

Posted on November 15, 2003 by Susan

Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa! I was smart enough to take Inventory early in the game. As a superhero, I have some handy James Bond-like stuff in my belt, and I was even smart enough to eXamine each item and find out … Continue reading → Continue reading →

INTERACTIVE FICTION: At Long Last

Posted on November 13, 2003 by Susan

INTERACTIVE FICTION: A Carrot on A Stick

Posted on November 4, 2003 by Susan
