Hi!

I've been a huge fan of adventure games since the days of Infocom. It probably says something profound of me that the first real purchase I made as an eight year old was WISHBRINGER.

I've followed the genre through all of the technical changes, but my love of a well-told story has never changed. Over the years, I've collected a large number of old adventure games — my computer desk looks like something of a shrine at this point.

I've also put out a few of my own works — mostly interactive-fiction (the new-fangled name for what we used to call 'text adventures' when I was a kid). If you're interested, you can read a bit about the games I've written here.
