Interactive Fiction Documentary at PAX East
Jason Scott, who we have mentioned in a previous podcast, had a one-hour screening of his documentary Get Lamp at PAX East about a month ago. The screening was followed by a panel featuring some of the giants of Interactive Fiction publication. In attendance were (from left to right):
- Dave Lebling, (Zork I, II and III, Starcross, Suspect, Spellbreaker, The Lurking Horror and James Clavell’s Shogun)
- Don Woods, (Colossal Cave Adventure)
- Brian Moriarty, (Wishbringer, Trinity, Loom, and Beyond Zork: The Coconut of Quendor)
- Andrew Plotkin, (IF hacker and author, designer of the Blorb format and the Glulx virtual machine)
- Nick Montfort, (author of Twisty Little Passages)
- Steve Meretzky, (Planetfall, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Leather Goddesses of Phobos, A Mind Forever Voyaging)
- and, of course, Jason Scott, looking all dapper.
