text adventures community

[bicilotti]

Is there something like the AGS community but related to the text adventures?

In other words a game engine, forums, game showcase, etc.?

I *think* there is somewhere. You should probably check Wikipedia... I could do it myself, but then again, I'm lazy

Search was unuseful, maybe it does not exists after all...

P.S.: you're the one of "me go store", nice little thing

Try searching for Interactive Fiction as that's what people seem to call it these days. I think there's a site called Ifarchive or something like that, and another called brass lantern.

Actually, there's much more!

There are lots of game engines: Inform, TADS, Hugo, ADRIFT, Alan, ...

As for a games showcase, I suggest you check out the past winners of the Annual Interactive Fiction Competition (since 1995) and the Xyzzy Awards (since 1996)

As for "forums", there are the two interactive fiction newsgroups: rec.games.int-fiction (about playing text adventures) and rec.arts.int-fiction (about authoring text adventures)
