Acknowledgments t’s hard to acknowledge all the people who have helped you without starting to sound like an actor at the Oscars, but the fact is, no one writes a book without a lot I of help. In more or less chronological order, I would like to thank my parents and family for the support and encouragement they have given me, and for all the games we played along the way. Steve Lauder, Joe Joyce, and Sue Thimmesch also must share the credit (or blame) for shoving me down the writerly path. Next are all the people at Infocom and Legend Entertainment, especially Mark Poesch and Duane Beck, who taught me more about game development than I ever taught them about game design. A special thanks to Mike Verdu, who was the best business partner a guy could ever hope for, and who was also kind enough to make valuable suggestions about the first edition of this book while it was in progress. At Course Technology, Stacy Hiquet, Mitzi Koontz, Jenny Davidson, and Sean Medlock all have my appreciation for shepherding the material from manuscript to book. Most of all, I would like to thank my wife, Peggy Oriani, and our children, Alex and Malia, from whose lives were extracted the countless hours it took me to write the book. I love you all. vi TEAM LinG - Live, Informative, Non-cost and Genuine ! About the Author BOB BATES began his game writing career at the legendary Infocom in 1986.

    What Is A LEGEND Adventure Game? In an adventure game from Legend, you become the main character in an evolv­ ing story that takes place in a world populated with interesting people, places, and things. You see this world through you r main character's eyes, and you play the game by directing his actions. Like a book or a movie, the story unfolds as you travel from location to location, encountering situations which require action on your part. You can think of each of these situations as a puzzle. The key to solving these puzzles will often be creative thinking and clever use of objects you have picked up in your travels. You will get points as you solve puzzles, and your score will help you monitor your progress. Throughout the game the richly textured graphics, prose, sound effects and music will draw you into a spellbinding adventure that could only be brought to you by the master storytellers of Legend Entertainment Company.

  • Ben There, Dan That! / Time Gentlemen, Please!
    Ben There, Dan That! / Time Gentlemen, Please! Even though Sierra and LucasArts gave up on adventure games around the turn of the century, there are still those who hold on to the belief that the genre is very much alive. But without the continuation of games like Monkey Island, Space Quest and Simon the Sorcerer, what we have are, mostly, legions of humorless entries with depressingly dry CG backgrounds, plus the occasional cartoonish adventure that tries to be funny but fails spectacularly. Former adventure creators still make some great work, of course. Tim Schaefer, of Grim Fandango, spent a long time working on Psychonauts and Brütal Legend, both of which were hilarious despite not being adventure games, while Telltale, formed with some of the other LucasArts staff, comes close to the glory days of the genre. But it‟s not quite the same. So it was more or less out of nowhere that a tiny group of Brits called Zombie Cow Studios brought out two of the funniest adventures since... well, since ever, perhaps. Ben There, Dan That! and its sequel, Time Gentlemen Please!, are both low budget hits made with Adventure Game Studio and have a graphical style most consistent with elementary school notebook doodles, but succeed tremendously because they‟re so brilliantly written. One could call it “The British version of South Park!” and that wouldn‟t entirely be wrong, but that‟s a glib summation of it. While both creations have uber low-fi visuals, subversive plotting, and more than just a bit of toilet humor, Zombie Cow‟s games replace South Park's libertarian cynicism with a self aware affection for adventure games, LucasArts in particular.

  • Interactive Fiction Communities from Preservation Through Promotion and Beyond
    www.dichtung-digital.org/2012/41/montfort-short.htm Interactive Fiction Communities From Preservation through Promotion and Beyond by Nick Montfort and Emily Short The interactive fiction (IF) community has for decades been involved with the authorship, sharing, reading, and discussion of one type of electronic literature and computer game. Creating interactive fiction is a game-making and world-building activity, one that involves programming as well as writing. Playing interactive fiction typically involves typing input and receiving a textual response explaining the current situation. From the first canonical interactive fiction, the minicomputer game Adventure, the form has lived through a very successful commercial phase and is now being actively developed by individuals, worldwide, who usually share their work for free online. Although it is typical to speak of "the IF community", there have actually been several communities representing different interests, different types of authoring systems, and various natural languages. Until around 2005, online archives, discussions, newsletters, and competitions focused the energies of IF community members. But since the middle of the 21st century's first decade, interest in IF has broadened beyond its earlier boundaries and academics, students, and players of indie games who are not IF community members have become active as IF players. Groups have met in person in different cities to play games and discuss work in progress. We consider the IF community's early formation and the way it,
