The entry reads: "I love interactive fiction and I'd really love to see more people getting interested in it." What's interactive fiction? you think, and read on. "If you recognize the general format, skip along. If you don't, this is the definition from Wikipedia:

Interactive fiction, often abbreviated IF, describes software containing simulated environments in which players use text commands to control characters. Works in this form can be understood as literary narratives and as computer games.

"Personally," the entry continues, "I get a lot of the same thrills from IF and IF theory as I do from fandom and meta, so I thought this might interest some of you. Anyways, these are the games I remember off the top of my head that I would recommend for beginners. Keep in mind, these aren't always necessarily games--in some cases, they're just stories you interact with. And mazes are passe, so no worries about twisty little passages, all alike. Plus, they're tiny--usually only 300 kb tops."

There is an lj-cut here.
