I remember MUDs being popular on the college network back in the 90′s, though I didn’t play one. Even within Infocom titles, there is a separation where some of them were more game-like, others heavier on the narrative / writing (book-like). I think it might be easier to make it book-like if it’s single player, though I could be wrong.

Imagine an interactive fiction game or MUD written by J.K. Rowling or Stephen King. It would be very cool to be interacting in a game while retaining the voice of the author.

This is the next logical step from Zork – interactive games where you navigate through dungeons with others, in a text-based environment. Think EverQuest but without the graphics. Loads of fun, if you have the time and imagination. I spent a lot of time in high school on one of these with my friends (hey, my mom said I was cool…).
