I've been playing, judging and reviewing IFComp games since the competition started in 1995. IFComp is a competition for interactive fiction games, including traditional parser text adventures and web based choice stories. Each year I get through a certain number of the games entered. As the competition has grown that's meant I've missed some. Including some of the winners.

I'd now like to play some of those I have missed. So just drew up a target list. Here it is, as much for my own benefit as anything. But it may be of interest to other IF fans out there.

• 1998 - Photopia
• 1999 - Winter Wonderland
• 2003 - Slouching Towards Bedlam
• 2008 - Violet
• 2014 - Hunger Daemon
• 2019 - Zozzled
• 2021 - And Then You Come to a House Not Unlike the Previous One

All the competition's winners are listed on its history web page. Each entry there includes a link to the IFDB entry for that game, which usually has resources to play it as well as reviews.

I'm making no commitments for when I will get to play the above games. I am very seriously ill, albeit in a very long term and generally slowly progressive way. But they're a goal.

Meanwhile I have my own game to finish off for IFComp 2024! "Bad Beer", a parser game.
