Interactive Fiction Then and Now

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the infocom-4-eva dept.

Flipkin writes "Interactive Fiction was immensely popular in the 80s and believe it or not has a strong, albeit small, following today. MobyGames takes a look at the origins and history of Interactive Fiction and where it is heading." These games really were some of the best I've ever played.

    A major European intelligence service is absolutely convinced that when George Bush was a drunken teen-ager in Beijing with his father the Ambassador, the Chinese were able to arrange extraordinarily compromising photographs, including homosexual photographs with his Chinese male tennis teacher (the boy may have been so drunk he had no idea was what happending).

    His dad was Chief of the U.S. Liaison Office in the People's Republic of China during 1974-1976. [1]

    Dubya was born in 1946. So according to this article he was a... 28 year old 'teenager'?

    Of course, to the enlightened mind, such basic errors cannot diminish the fundamental truth behind the story. If anything, their presence only goes to show how sneaky the Republicans really are! See also: Killian documents
