Hi, You go to "walkthrough here to enter the ifarchive". After that, there's a directory tree you have to navigate; it depends on what you want--the site is quite large and all I can say is you'll have to experiment. What are you looking for, I may be able to find it quickly for you? Best Regards, Hayden

When I go to the archive where do I go to find the games? I see a bunch of stuff but not sure of where to go to download these games. Thanks in advance. -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Hayden Presley Sent: Sunday, April 04, 2010 7:05 PM To: 'Gamers Discussion list' Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Any interactive fiction fans out there? Hi Mike, Most games, such as those found on the interactive fiction archive, are free to play. However, some of (or all of) the companies I've ever heard of that make these games end up charing a fee to play them, or in the Infocom/Level9 days, buying them on floppy disc.

Dark: Thanks a lot for the links and will check them all out. Are all interactive fictions cost money or are there free stuff out there? -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: Sunday, April 04, 2010 3:22 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Any interactive fiction fans out there? Hmmm, I can't recall azteca specifically, but remember how well you c an interact with game elements depends very much on how much of a brain the creator had. I spent ages trying to get through the fireplace in the pentory prequal, --- north, (sinse it was in the north wall), enter fire place "you can't enter that" when it turned out I had to type in, ---- for the love of pete! I don't remember any such issue with azteca, but I will confess this business with the prequal, ---- and the fact that I can make no headway whatsoever with the demo of the first game rather put me off malinch's stuff. As with regular fiction though, this just depends upon who wrote the game, and there is a lot more interactive fiction available than just malinches' stuff, ---- check those links I sent in the previous message for starters, then have a look at http://www.wurb.com/if/ and search for something with good reviews that looks interesting. personally, I'd recommend stuff by emily short, paul obrian and aAndrew plotkin, ---- but again this depends upon my personal preference for weerd exploritory fantasy stuff. Beware the Grue!
