Interactive Fiction Competition 2006 Voting Begins

An anonymous reader writes "Voting for the 12th annual Interactive Fiction Competition (IF Comp) has begun! Standout entries this year include a new game from acclaimed writer (and previous IF Comp winner) Emily Short, an interactive moebius strip, the requisite bible game(s) and a game about making games. A full list is available on the IF Comp website, and eToychest kicks off their IF Comp coverage with an interview with Stephen Granade, the competition organizer."

With the IF subgenre being probably the best suited to implement with hyperlinks

WTF are you talking about? IF != choose your own adventure books. They typically have complex user interactions involving manipulation of in-game objects using what is, in many cases, a remarkably complex grammar. To suggest this can be done with simple hyperlinks betrays a deep misunderstanding of the nature of IF.
