Just an FYI: The latest issue of Computer Games magazine (April 2006)
contains a piece on IF. It covers the "early years" and comes all the
way to the present, with information on Inform, TADS, and Hugo; the
Annual IF Comp, Baf's Guide, and a bunch more.

Old hat to anyone who reads these newsgroups, but it's nice to see IF
in a print magazine.

I first became aware of this magazine last year, after they very
unexpectedly mentioned one of my homebrew Gameboy Advance games, a port
of the venerable Rogue. It seems like a great magazine for those
interested in the history and development of games, as well as the
newer stuff.
