Oh, dear.

"Let's just put a big bunch of games together and then have an advertisement between every paragraph"

That's what I saw. What aren't any of RobB's games on the list?

No, but that is ok, if I were better at this I would recognize that the author was a writer willing to give text games a chance, and I would send that person Steam keys. I am just avoiding indie game promotion at the moment. I think Paperboy is a silly and funny concept, but I don't know that I am chuckling while playing it? And I think Trover Saves the Universe is extremely funny and relentless at trying to make the player laugh.

I think we just plain live in the same world as Bureaucracy these days. This is a good article about it.

The way it is described is funny and I should play it because I love everything I've ever read from Michael Bywater, but it would not surprise me if something is "lost" because it's almost as if every designer of computer systems took frustration as a manual.
