For gamers who'd like to get a taste of that era, or old-timers looking for a heaping helping of nostalgia, Get Lamp might be just the thing: A new film from Jason Scott, the man behind the 2005 release BBS: The Documentary, that looks at the good old days of interactive fiction.

"In the early 1980s, an entire industry rose over the telling of tales, the solving of intricate puzzles and the art of writing," the Get Lamp website says. "Like living books, these games described fantastic worlds to their readers, and then invited them to live within them. They were called 'computer adventure games,' and they used the most powerful graphics processor in the world: the human mind."

...

Get Lamp includes dozens of interviews with people including Steve Meretzky, Scott Adams, Ian Bogost, Chris Crawford and John Romero, an introductory essay by Scorpia, a numbered coin, a DVD-ROM section with photos, audio recordings and games, and, aside from clearly-marked bonus materials, an entirely spoiler-free experience.
