Interview with Jim MacBrayne

An interview with Jim MacBrayne; author of Amiga text adventures The Golden Fleece, The Holy Grail, The Mission, and Frustration.

http://8bitag.com/info/jim-maybrayne.html

(includes links to Jim's archived versions of those games... I don't see Frustration included in your Hall of Light)

Just gave them a short start, seems they are nicely written! The startup quote is a very nice idea. Also finally an IF Adventure which really shows helpful information about the interface when entering "help".

There are full versions of IF games for 4 different systems: C64, Amiga, Dos and Windows. The "TADS" (Text Adventure Developing System) run well in Dosbox.

The parser seems to be quite powerful, however this made me

Cool! Thank you for this. Brings back memories when I was deeply absorbed in playing text adv games like this in my younger days.

Forgot how good text adventures are!
