2003 IFComp Award Winners Announced

An anonymous reader writes "The 9th Annual Interactive Fiction Competition has now announced its winners - the start of the judging was previously covered on Slashdot." There are a number of sites with reviews of the competing text adventures, which are all freely downloadable, and winner 'Slouching Towards Bedlam' ("a game of multiple paths... set in a steampunk universe with Lovecraftian overtones"), and runner-up 'Risorgimento Represso' ("on a par with most Infocom games, and exceeds them at many points", but paradoxically too long to be played through within the 2-hour judging period), both get plenty of kudos from judges.

although paradoxically too long to be played within the 2-hour judging period

So I guess Halo would qualify for this contest?

Although, I'm TOLD it's harder/takes longer when you don't set the difficulty level to "Tenderfoot Girl Scout" mode...
