| Deleted User | I'm quite looking forward to this. I'm downloading all the games now.
Can't wait to see what everyone's come up with!

| Deleted User | Blech. So far, I've played seven of the games, of which:
1 is a stupid choose-your-own adventure with really bad gameplay
1 is buggy, poorly written and all-out bad
1 is offensive and rude
1 is amusing and well-programmed but just a gimmick
1 is poorly written cutesy garbage with a nonsensical ending
2 are amusing with good gameplay, but lacking in the plot and writing areas.
How are the rest of you faring? Does anyone else have comments on the comp?

Status : Online | I am playing the z-code games. I think there are about 10 z-games, all written with inform. So far, only two of them, which are quite in the line of the old infocom´s games, deserved my attention. I am a bit disappointed but I am going to restrain myself from drawing an overall judge about the competition until I play the TADS and Glux games. Last years, the best of the competition was around them.

Status : Online | I've played a lot of the older comp games, both good and bad, but usually play after the competition is over so I can pick based on others comments. I don't have a lot of time to spend, so I haven't tried judging before. This is the first time I'm hitting them all completely cold.
I have some comments I would like to make, good and bad, but I wouldn't feel comfortable doing so about this year's competition until the voting is over since the rules for judging prohibit it. I can say that in past comps there have been a few really good ones mixed in with some okay ones and some really lame ones, so I don't see why it would be any different this time. If anything, the lame ones make you appreciate what it takes to make a good game all the more. And remember, the two hour time limit for judging a game is the maximum time to spend, the minimum is not specified as long as you feel comfortable with your vote.

My favourite game was Slouching Towards Bedlam.

Status : Online | Well, you got quite close to the actual results there.
(I get the banana! I R winz0r!)
I only played a handful of tads games during the comp itself - not being a judge I generally wimp out and wait to see the reviews before trying many of the titles. So the most fun I personally had was the Erudition Chamber, although I wish it had been longer...
