Definitely still play, though not as much as I would like, due to lack of time.

(Though coincidentally was actually just in process of getting a z-code interpreter for this new laptop when I checked in here at AG, as was planning to install a few IF games for when I do have time.)

Recommendations - commercial era:
- Zork I and II (More your treasure hunt-type games than particularly plot-driven, but good old school challenge.)
- The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Fun, but pretty damn hard in places.)
- Wishbringer (Bit more of an intro-level game, but not without it's challenges.)

Recommendations - post-commercial era:
- Conan Kill Everything (Extremely short and very easy game from 2005: can be finished in about five minutes, but a fun/silly intro to the genre.)
- Shade (Andrew Plotkin's IFComp entry for 2000 is that rarest of beasts for me: an IF game I replay every year or two, just to experience it again. Also pretty short, can be finished in under an hour, but it's an intriguing, unsettling, surreal and occasionally shocking hour or so.)
