Even though I can't deny the sheer quality and quantity of modern freeware interactive fiction (text-adventure) games, I'm more than intrigued by a little something the lovely people of TIG Source discovered: Textfyre. Textfyre, you see, aspires to be the next Infocom-style commercial text-adventure publisher and that is by all means a good thing TM. Here's their still sparse website and here's to the full-fledged revival of i-f.

ReplyDeleteWell... perhaps he could coach?
ReplyDeletelol seamus coaching.. lol.. (thinks about it....) well i'll give you this, he couldn't do worse that the Irish Rugby Coach.... shameful...
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know really... Rugby... Rings a bell, definitely does.. Yes... Never watched it really... Does Seamus know anything on the sport?
ReplyDeleteFrom beyond the grave on this one, but there might be more interesting stuff coming from Textfyre over the next few months - some of it, if I'm getting it right, Infocom related.
ReplyDeleteOld post never die, you know... Oh, and I do believe that Textfyre is very close to making some tech breakthroughs. Infocom related stuff though? I'd love to see that.
