I'd heard people were still making text adventures (as I think of them), but this is the first time I have seen one referenced in the wild.

As a kid I loved them. All the graphics were in your head. My stepfather programmed one I played (I suspect it came from some magazine) called Caverns of Chaos(?) on the VZ200 and I loved it. I still remember it well, better than some other games I've played (but, that's the nature of memory too).

There's a docco about IF called "Get Lamp" if you've not seen it:
