I have played text adventures, or interactive fiction since the early '80's. My first experience was with the mainframe Zork. My Dad brought home a dummy terminal with an acoustic coupler modem and instead of a monitor, it printed straight to thermal paper. After telnetting into the server and entering Zork, I had a true scrollable transcript of every interaction. Knowing nothing about anything I fell to the damnable grue many times.
For a few decades I lost touch with IF, but have lately become captivated again by the prose and the imagination behind interactive storytelling.
Currently I am interested in authoring my own IF works. To learn more about my experience with this, please visit: http://writerbob.wordpress.com/
