We are a Boston collection of fans, players, and authors of Interactive Fiction - which is to say, old-style text adventures. You know. Like Zork. "Twisty little maze of passages, all alike." "Likely to be eaten by a grue." Those games. Not surprisingly, we play and discuss all things interactive fiction, focusing on recent topics or developments in the community. We also demonstrate our own games or experiments in the area. Some past examples from our agenda include: Playing and critiquing various games submitted to the Interactive Fiction Competition at JayIsGames. Demonstrating a program that can create interactive excerpts from an IF game. Learning how an IF game is being used by a student to replicate the logic (or lack thereof) in dreams.
