Victory Garden

“I am trying to get some reading done (story of my life) but the world keeps intruding.

It is 7:05 p.m. on the 16th of January 1991. Something dark and terrible is unfolding in Baghdad, Iraq. Something dark and terrible took place in Staffordshire, England during the month of July 1916. Various things, some of them dark and perhaps terrible, are about to happen in a place called Tara.”

Victory Garden was originally written in Storyspace™ and published in late 1991 by Eastgate Systems, distributed on 3.5-inch diskette and later CD-ROM. This original version remains available from Eastgate for appropriate systems. Victory Garden was one of a handful of hypertext stories that flourished in the “Golden Age” of digital fiction, as Robert Coover has named it. After many years of obsolescence, the work returns as Victory Garden 2022, a new version designed for the World Wide Web.
