Hi, Right. There aren't that many interactive games that are stand alone. Most require an interpreter. I'm personally glad for one very big reason. In most cases interactive fiction games are completely cross platform. Want to play an Adrift adventure download scare for Linux. Want to play an interactive game written in Form use frotz for Linux or one of a couple other Linux inform interpreters. There is even a tads interpreter, but I can't think of the name off the top of my head. They are all accessible and if I put my interactive fiction library all together I'd say I have something like 150 cross-platform games.
