Jeremy: Thanks for your comments. You could try the Apple II interpreter that's available here: http://www.inform-fiction.org/zmachine/appleII.html

As noted, a simple website. Bet this will display right in Netscape 4.08, I'll have to try sometime! Awfully small box to write in though. :P Closest I've ever been to interactive fiction was Zork Grand Inquisitor; I was born in the '90s after all. Wonder if I can get an interpreter for my Apple IIe...

Thanks for your kind words, John!

A good old-fashioned website - clearly and simply laid out, free from flashing ads and nagging 'be my friend on facebook' messages. A good introduction to interactive fiction, a genre too often neglected in an age of eye-aching CGI graphics and too little substance.
