Pointless z-abuse, October 21, 2007
by Michael R. Bacon (New Mexico)

zRogue is an interesting programming exercise and well done, but not really something worthwhile for the player, I believe. Rogue is readily available on many other platforms. Since it is entirely text-based, the novel connection to interactive fiction is somewhat credible, but very little remains to make it interesting for the interactive fiction audience.

If you're an IF programmer and want to be impressed, go ahead and take a look. If you want to play IF, don't bother.

Abuses of the IF engine by mjhayes
Although various interpreters were written to facilitate play and creation of interactive stories, it should be obvious that some people would find ways to write computer games using the various aspects of the interpreters.
