Stiffy Through The Ages

Recommendations by Ivanr

One of the most enduring characters in interactive fiction is a guy named Stiffy. Stiffy Makane. A misogynistic, notoriously ill-coded three-room game from 1997 launched an enduring inside joke, and over the past 20 years the ribald id of the IF community has been everywhere from the void of outer space to the decadent city streets of ancient Rome. He's been parodied, deconstructed, and even murdered.

There didn't seem to be a list chronicling these, so now there is. (Warning: these are pretty much all affirmatively NSFW)

There's now Citizen Manake, from the 2023 IFComp, where you play as Stiffy

Slight correction: The Cavity of Time postdated Apocolocyntosis, and wouldn't have come about if Apocolocyntosis hadn't been in the zeitgeist. So, it was not poorly timed; release came at exactly at the intended moment.

Ah! My apologies for the misrepresentation.
