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!"

Scott Adams Interpreter on the web by tenzig_112 · 2001-11-01 01:27 · Score: 4, Interesting

I built one some time back to run the database-driven Scott Adams text adventures using only Javascript and PHP- since even the best Java tended to break my browser.

It works well on older versions of Netscape as well as IE 5. Opera users have reported some trouble.
