Eaten By A Grue: Infocom, Text Adventures, and Interactive Fiction

In this episode I announce a new podcast by somebody whose name is suspiciously like my own, and discuss another upcoming Apple II podcast. I also lament my non-attendance at KansasFest while pointing you to the field reports of those who were lucky enough to attend this year. A new universal binary Apple emulator for Mac OS X called Sweet16 makes the news, as do upgraded versions of CiderPress, SAFE 2, the tiny Contiki operating system, and a USB-equipped Replica 1.  

Reviews include a look  at the Sudoku Solver, but do not include the promised Infocom game. But I do take the wraps off a brand new Apple II game...literally! After a 19 year wait, I RIP THE SHRINKWRAP OFF a pristine, sealed game from 1987. (The screams of collectors can be heard all across the land from a thousand parents' basements.)

And what does any of this have to do with a mysteriously disappearing computer store? Tune in and find out!
