Interactive_Fiction

=INTERACTIVE FICTION= Below are some of the classic interactive fiction (IF) works on which students have reported in past semesters. They are recommended as some of the best examples ever created, some of them even collected in the [|Electronic Literature Organization]'s Electronic Literature Collection (both in [|Volume I] and [|Volume II]). Some of these are also reviewed at BAF's Guide to IF, another good source for games to play. You will need an [|IF interpreter] to read these works. Use [|Spatterlight] for Macs and [|Gargoyle] for PCs (though I prefer [|Windows Frotz]). Most of the choices below are [|z-code games]. For a good introduction to IF, see [|Emily Short's PDF "Welcome to Interactive Fiction]."
