Hmmm since people seem to be discussing this. I got into audio games by accident. in about 1993 I started mucking with dad's old disks and found things I could play. My first real text game was from a friend and it was called intergalactic battle. you could be be oryan klingon I think romulan and federation and andromidan I think not soure I think you could be cardation. anyway you could have set games against your oponants or the computer. the main screen was graphical but the system was controled with menus.
After I got on the net I was on the old henrichsen site which is now dead and found various files called aud1.zip, etc. I was curious, because well I was thinking it was something to do. I downloaded the files and read them. as i went through each mag i followed the links and read the articles. up to then I had not even heard anything about interactive fiction. in fact I did not get the net till 1995. my first real audio game was sod alpha1 in 1996 I think. from 1995 till 2000 I used an old 386 system which had been mangled some what due to me dropping it off the desk. the thing is now dead for ever more but I played dos stuff till then. after that I made several attempts to play old stuff again. this year I have finally got round to bothering with interpreters for windows fully so we will see where this goes. Actually I suppose I should thank josh for asking for my archive of games in the first place because since switching to hard drive recordings I have not touched my cdr collection. I had to sort this out and again got interested.
