Play interactive fiction online in your browser
Interactive fiction is a niche genre. It was more popular in the 80s, when software houses like Infocom, Level 9, Legend Entertainment developed "text adventures" en masse. There is an active IF scene and, thanks to modern interpreters, it's easy (and often free) to play modern interactive fiction games.
Abandonware DOS hosts a few good old interactive fiction classics. You can download them all, and play online quite a few of them:
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
- Corruption
- Demon's Forge
- Sex Vixens from Space
- The Crack of Doom
- Time Quest
- 9 Princes in Amber
- The Hobbit
- Spellbreaker
- Zork 3
- Knight Orc
- A Mind Forever Voyaging
- Fahrenheit 451
- Time and Magik: the Trilogy
