For all those of you who fondly remember Infocom, xyzzy and fantastic documentary about the history of 'SPT' or 'second-person thinker' gaming. The tagline from the website is 'Before there was the First Person Shooter, there was the Second Person Thinker.'
If you want to encourage this kind of film-making, if you appreciate video game history, or even if you just wax nostalgic when your sword glows blue, then please consider supporting this documentary with your wallet or your recommendations. I'm not affiliated with the film-maker in any way, shape, or form, but I am a video game nut who remembers that it was these kinds of 'interactive fiction' or text adventure games that taught me how to read, type, and love the medium.
The documentary is called Get Lamp. Check it out and make sure to spread the word! (It ain't like this guy has a large budget for marketing, ya know!)
