Textfyre and wild text adventure gaming dreams

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.

  9. From 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.

  10. Old 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.
