Is that Issue 95 of PC Format from May 1999 by any chance? I only realised that Inform was on that disk long after I got into Interactive Fiction, which annoys me slightly as I could have gotten into it earlier!

Actually Im unsure on the issue since I lost the magazine. But on the disk it says May 2008 138 (Im not sure if the 138 is the issue).

Ah, I see. It must have come out again in a later edition. Well, welcome to the forum.

I figured as I've made a few threads already in which I flail around uselessly and beg for help, I should probably come introduce myself! Well, I'm Andrew A 24 year old computer geek from the UK. I like reading fantasy, playing action and strategy video games, and watching good TV (Battlestar Galactica, Game Of Thrones, Stargate, Sherlock, Dirk Gently, etc).

I like trying out new things, and I got the urge to figure out what it takes to make a text adventure game a few days ago, so here I am learning as I go (I learn by doing, so it's the best way for me) and thoroughly enjoying the huge array of possibilities that keep unfurling in front of me using the Inform engine.

Oh, and I have a UKFM CB and a 1/2 wave silver rod antenna for any of you into radio. Looking at getting my foundation licence and an Anytone AT-5555 at some point this year.

So uhm....that's me!

Hi Andrew- I'm currently really digging Game of Thrones- have you read the books? I've got a radio question: they're withdrawing analogue signal for commercial stations in the UK right? Will that mean everyone will be able to broadcast on the old signals? I was wondering a few months back whether the withdrawal of analogue TV would allow for new pirate stations to spring up, and I wonder the same for radio.

The UK government was intending to withdraw analogue radio signals from around 2014 I think, but since a large percentage of households have not acquired, and do not seem to be interested in purchasing digital radios, it appears this will in fact not happen for quite a long time. (Unless of course the government wishes to lose the next General Election.)

You mean in the UK the government refrains from doing something just because most of the people are opposed to it? What a strange idea! Maybe we should try that in the US.

I propose a name for this odd approach to government: "democracy," from demos, the people (as opposed to the system of lucrocracy, rule by wealth, that we currently have in the US).

I imagine it would never fly over here, but its worth a shot.

Well why not, I've made a few posts now.

My name is John; I'm a 27-year-old from Scotland and I too love Game of Thrones (and was a fan of the books long before they made a show out of them). I also like all things geeky or nerdy, and am engaged to a woman who's almost as much of a geek as I am.

My main talents/hobbies are writing and games design. I've been working mostly with RPG Maker but I recently picked Inform back up. As my first project I'm recreating Day of the Tentacle as IF, which is currently going very well!
