So I'm going to try and enter the 2008 Interactive Fiction Competition. You should all learn Inform or something between now and the 30th of September and enter as well.

Did any of you people ever play those sorts of games? If so, what was your favorite? I was always partial to Infocom's Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (which you can play online in a weird Flash-based thingjob on the BBC website, but be warned — it is really hard). Bureaucracy (also designed/written by Douglas Adams) is pretty good as well.
