Interactive Fiction Competition 2001

This year there are 52 entries, each a bite-sized two hours long, and you only have to judge at least five for your votes to be counted. Winners from previous years are easily as high-quality as the classic Infocom games, and in many cases surpass them. Judging started October 1 and runs to November 15. The interpreters run on all major platforms (and many minor ones). It's late! Get started!"

    I can't seem to find a way past the timber room. I can't take the lamp with me and I get eaten by a grue :(

  2. shoot floyd with laser by DarklordJonnyDigital · · Score: 3, Funny
    Never mind your new-fangled games of yours, I'm still stuck on Planetfall!

    I've gone to sleep in the spartan beds which at least provide a modicum of privacy, woken up, picked up all the stuff I could find, and now I've got this darn robot following me around and wanting to play hider-seeker. The laser won't even work because all I've got is a battery that doesn't work.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks,
