When I was a kid my best friend's brother played these games quite a bit. I remember he spent hours typing away.

While I was an avid reader, IF never really caught on with me. Thinking back, I had a Fantastic Four game for the Commodore that frustrated me to no end. I couldn't get past the first scene. My character was stuck in a tar pit and I couldn't get him out.
