"In the early years of the microcomputer, a special kind of game was being played....in the early 1980s, an entire industry rose over the telling of tales, the solving of intricate puzzles and the art of writing. Like living books, these games described fantastic worlds to their readers, and then invited them to live within them." Found via Genehack and Recursive Bee, a filmmaker by the name of Jason Scott is prepping Get Lamp, a documentary on the Golden Age of text adventures. I've said this several times here in this space, but I'd pay top-money for a new Infocom game any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
