Storytelling in Computer Games

Storytelling in Computer Games

The full text and an audio recording are available online. Of most importance are sections 1 ("Brief History of Interactive Fiction") and 2 ("Scott Adams Speaks"). But don't miss ''Parser fun with the 'Adventureland' bear.".

In addition, familiarize yourself with "Play Interactive Fiction in One Minute" (a 6-page PDF document). Over the weekend, you won't have to install or download anything, and we'll spend class time on Monday playing one or two of the games described in this handout.

Although I never got into these types of games,maybe I should for the sake of the class.
I want instant gratification when I play video games......bang!bang!kaboom!. Shoot and kill type video games.
I do respect Scott Adams for bringing his creations into the PC world,without him we would not the luxary of online gaming.

(If you notice something like that, folks, I'd appreciate an e-mail or a comment so I can fix it. Cherie, thanks for telling me before class. I'll bring dead-tree copies to class.)
