Nautical IF - an IFDB Poll
by Felix Larsson
RSS FeedI know there was a couple of commercial high-sea text adventures. Now I am on the look-out for ‘modern’, post-commercial IF with a nautical theme. As far as I can tell, there is a definite shortage of bucaneers, boatswains, able seamen and simple Sunday sailors in IF. Please prove me wrong.
