2009 Interactive Fiction Competition

What began fourteen years ago as an effort to encourage the development of short works of interactive fiction has grown into a competition involving some thirty authors and over two hundred judges. Each year people from around the world write text adventures that can be played in two hours or less. Since the competition started the definition of what interactive fiction is has changed, with a number of games now including graphics and sound.Whether you`ve never played a text adventure before in your life, or you`ve judged in every competition since 1995, we`re glad you`re taking part.You may play the competition games in any order you choose. However, if you don`t think you`ll have time to play all of the games before the end of the voting period, you are encouraged to play them in random order.There are two types of competition games: interpreted games and platform-specific executables.
