Steve Meretzky has achieved both in his interactive text career and is to be commended on those. His personal history with publishers is completely accurate and developers must convince publishers to take the risk and venture forth beyond action adventure. Mr. Meretzky is an icon and is much respected. Joey has done a great job describing her personal experiences with Infocom which mirrors many of ours.

Getting eaten by a grue on the go is as fulfilling as it ever was. Excellent posts. So far, my favorite game on my iPhone is still Frotz, the interactive adventure app, running Zork.
