Pioneers Interviews
A growing collection of conversations with the individuals who helped define interactive fiction. These interviews aim to preserve first-hand perspectives, development stories, and reflections from the early era of adventure gaming.
Preserving first-hand history
While games themselves can be preserved through software and media, the stories behind them often risk being lost. This section focuses on capturing those voices — the creators, designers, and thinkers who shaped the early landscape of adventure games.
Each interview is presented in a museum-style format, with light editorial framing and contextual notes where appropriate, while preserving the original voice and intent of the interviewee.
Featured interviews
Coming Soon
Additional pioneer interviews are currently being prepared, including creators from the UK and international adventure game scene.
Archive in progress
This section will expand over time to include multiple interviews, audio material, and historical commentary.
Editorial approach
- Interviews are presented with minimal alteration to preserve authenticity.
- Light editorial notes may be added for context or clarity.
- No copyrighted material is reproduced beyond what is necessary for commentary and preservation.
