Ten years before I was born
"Scott Adams, author of the first commercial computer game ("Adventureland," 1978), leads a lively discussion on narrative, copyright, and violence." It's hard to believe this was in 1978. I mean, I thought the computer game of Solitare was amazing when I first experienced it at 7, in 1995. I had no idea computer games dated back to 1978. From what I read, they aren't high tech or anything, and nowhere near my favorite PC game, The Sims. Adventureland sounds like an interesting start of the gaming revolution. Being technological illiterate, I'm sure it will still confuse me and take me awhile to get the hang of it......
bring on the challenge.

You go girl...(insert sassy finger snap here):) If there's one thing I've learned from this class, it's that you've got to hold on to positive thinking...

It's funny how most people in class seem to associate IFs with their own video game experiences. (I often think of Pac-Man...that's right, I'm old.)
This probably makes them harder to play since the format and text (minus graphics) are so different.
