> SCRIPT ON

Done.

> LOOK

It is dark.  You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

> FROTZ THE BOOK

The spell book flares up so brightly you can't even look at it!  The 
brightness diminishes gradually until eventually you can see you are in...

Twisty pages
You are in a maze of twisty Web pages, all alike.
There is a piece of paper on the ground.

> TAKE THE PAPER.  READ IT.

Taken.

"Hi everybody.  I've put together a home page for the Interactive Fiction 
addicts out there.

The main features are:

. A hypertext index of ftp.gmd.de.  It has all the file descriptions, 
  and directory descriptions intact.  File links point to ftp.gmd.de at the
  moment, but could go to wuarchive if trans-atlantic traffic is too high.

. Reviews of the files at ftp.gmd.de!  At the moment there is only one. :)
  If you want to see, it's for "Enhanced.zip" in if-archive/games/pc.
  But I would like everyone to contribute their reviews of the games
  they've played and loved, liked, or hated.  The reviews are connected
  to the files in the file-list, and instructions for how to get your review
  in are in the pamphlet off the main page.

. An area for game programmer (I'm planning to be one someday...).   At the
  moment, an invisible force blocks your way when you try to get in, though,
  because it's not finished.

. The expected links to other places.

Drop by and visit. Let me know what you think.  TELL ME if something
doesn't work.  I hope you enjoy it and find it useful.
