I played ADVENT back in the late 70s or early 80s and I was hooked. I played Dungeon/Zork in its mainframe format. I played the majority of the Infocom games when they came out. And then there were the dark times until I found r*if and Stephen Granade’s section of miningco. And then I found IFMud and learned Inform 6. I wrote walkthroughs for many speed-ifs. I contributed to Baf’s Guide. I tested some games. I helped out with the XYZZY Awards. I was interviewed for GET LAMP. I’m an admin at IFWiki. I’m a frequent participant at ClubFloyd sessions. And now I have a Patreon through which I publish more walkthroughs!

TL;DR: I like IF a lot.
