Hi Shawn, Interactive fiction is a game style that was popular in the 1980's and to a lesser extent later on. Basically, you are given a bunch of text describing a situation and have to react to it by typing commands. If you've ever played muds or games of that type, this should be pretty familiar. Another term that is sometimes used is text adventures, though that's a bit old-fashioned in some circles. Most interactive fiction is written in a specialty programming language, of which there are several, and compiled to a special cross-platform format. Zoom lets you play games compiled for the most popular of these. If you're interested in the subject, I recommend Googling: interactive fiction will come up with several sites which can do a better job of explaining things than I have here. Hope this helps, Zack.
