It's that time again

The Twelfth Annual Interactive Fiction Competition begins today. Non-contestants can take part in the proceedings by grabbing a torrent of the competing games and judging them over the next six weeks. If you're new to interactive fiction, Emily Short's "How to Play" will acquaint you with its conventions. And if you're enough of an I.F. expert that even a full slate of Comp games won't satisfy you, you can find every competition entry since 1995 archived at Baf's Guide.

Darn it, this was gonna be my next FPP. Wanted to do a better job than last year. :)

Thanks for the reminder, though!

Every year I say I'm going to write a game for the Interactive Fiction contest.

Every year I miss the deadline, then think "Just wait until next year....!"
