About the author

I got into interactive fiction, or as I think of it, adventure games, with the Scott Adams adventures. Say what you will about them being primitive, they will always have a special place with me. In fact it was my searching the Internet for Scott Adams on a whim that led me to the I-F archive and Inform.

During the early to mid-80's I wrote a few very small, Scott Adams-ish (go figure) adventures in BASIC for my TRS-80 Color Computer. If you're a CoCo user (current or ex) and if you have "The Fourth Rainbow Book of Adventures," dust it off, crack it open, and look for "Superspy," by, you guessed it, me. I got an honorable mention in that contest. (Translation: out of the 15 or so picked as winners, I was number 16.) I hope to win next year's I-F contest. Yeah buddy!

I'm far from a puzzle-solving guru. These are the games I've won on my own:

Planetfall	Stationfall	Moonmist	Hollywood Hijinks
Infidel (A personal triumph: solved in six hours)

I solved these with help:

Hitchhiker's (A friend told me how to get to the whale)
Leather Goddesses (Same friend told me where to find info on getting through sewers)
Sherlock (Hints)	Border Zone (Hints again. I feel so dirty.)

I regret to say that I have never solved these games:

Zork (Really)	Enchanter	Starcross	Seastalker (barely played it, okay?)
Suspended	Deadline	Suspect	A Mind Forever Voyaging
Trinity
