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 installed the Windows program necessary to play the games, (which was not particularly easy to find, as in it wasn't blazingly obvious), and I saw the installer overwrote a few files in my SYSTEM folders. Be warned!
