	Galatea (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Galatea is a piece of art work by Emily Short rendered in the form of interactive fiction, and written in Inform.
		Galatea is loosely based around the myth of Pygmalion who carved the sculpture of a woman.
		He falls in love with the statue, named Galatea or Elise in different versions of the myth, and the goddess Venus brings her to life.

		Games with mundane tasks are frowned upon because they lack the flow and fluidity that has become expected in the game world nowadays.
		Computer games are very much like narratives but have the advantage of taking the concept one step further from reading about the character to being the character.
		It is highly unlikely that a person could solve his or her problems through this computer “game”, which essentially is what ELIZA is. There is no face to the individual you are speaking to and there is not sympathy or understanding that can only be offered by a human being.

		Galatea as a story is quite interesting.You go through many different ways of which you can interpret the story, some of which I chose brought me to an abrupt ending.
		You get a background on Galatea as well as her creator Pygmalion and if you play it more than once and take different routes, you are bound to find out all of the information you need to know about the story.
		It is not a game you could play for the rest of your life like a video game, because there aren't different levels to beat, or boards to get to.

	Non-Competition and Miscellaneous Reviews
		The game still has the same problems that Mystery Manor had — it's overdone in writing and atmosphere, and underdone in terms of gameplay — but in both respects it improves on its predecessor.
		This game never precisely veers into the brilliant the way Galatea sometimes does; on the other hand, it hits "very good" almost constantly, and it hardly seems fair to ask for more (I do, of course, but it's not fair of me).
		The game with the largest feel in the minigame minicomp, both in terms of number of rooms (thanks to a Hunter, in Darkness-style maze generator) and in terms of plot (thanks to having a plot).

	snarkout: interactive fictions
		An avid Dungeons and Dragons fan, Crowther decided to put together a computer game he thought his daughters might enjoy, a fantastic crawl through an underground world loosely based on Mammoth Cave in Kentucky.
		The great adventure game boom was dead within the decade (although Level 9, the UK's leading adventure game developer, lasted until 1991).
		Call it unfiction or alternative reality gaming -- the idea is that a narrative is strung together on the Internet (and possibly even to a limited extent in the physical world) which participants can unpack using exactly the same research tools and conspiracy-minded obsession over detail that they would for a real-life mystery.

		However, this weekend I played a game (Super Mario World, or something like it) on Nintendo 64, which is apparently cool because it's sort of 3-D. There was a plot behind the game somewhere, and it had something to do with finding stars and staying away from some weird shape that is apparently named Bowser.
		However, the game was similar in basis because it was a journey with a challenge to complete.
		The computer (tower, I suppose) was white with beads so it looked like a wedding cake and it had the proposal etched into the side.

	SPAG Game Reviews G (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		That's the premise, but the heart of the game is the statue herself--her views on being put on a pedestal, on the artist, on the show, on you--and the underlying mythology is important only insofar as it bears on her psychology.
		Finally, the game ends with a rather, um, distasteful development that took the whole thing down another notch or two in the fun department--basic bodily functions as a puzzle premise were not compelling in My First Stupid Game, and they're not a whole lot better here.
		The game also suffers from a few missed opportunities: the femme fatale is not actually fatale; no characters in the game are any more than they at first seem-- there are no double-crosses and no betrayal; though the plot is not entirely straightforward, neither does it contain any particular twists or surprises.

	Slashdot \| Twisty Little Passages
		If any examples of heavily-copy-protected computer games survive through another two decades for study and discussion, it will be thanks to the loose, widespread network of teenagers and college students who assiduously cracked these programs, allowing the crippled disks to run freely both on systems at the time and on compatible computers today.
		But as it is actually presented, the main character is your daughter, your classmate, your babysitter, because the game has put you in the shoes of a number of people with various relationships to her, and asked you to walk a mile.
		Thus, the game author has continually to worry about how the player is getting along, whether she is lost, confused, fed up, finding it too tedious to keep an accurate map: or, on the other hand, whether she is yawning through a sequence of easy puzzles without much exploration.

		A Z-machine is a program that interprets and runs Infocom game data files, which were written in a cross-platform "Z-code" to run on 26 different platforms.
		These games cover a stunning variety of subjects: genre adventures in the Infocom tradition, historical tales, mind-bending dream worlds - one recent entry, Aidan Doyle's Bolivia by Night, is basically a tour of Bolivia.
		Using free special-purpose compilers like Inform, TADS, or the more recent Hugo, any IF enthusiast can make a complete computer game in days instead of years, alone instead of on a huge team, with minimal programming knowledge.

		Interactive fiction, also called text adventures or text games, has provided computer users with underground gaming and literary experiences through a period of university-based game development, and through a wave of commercial development, and now as independent writer/programmers have taken up the tradition.

	Façade Review
		This isn’t the behavior of either a game or an interactive story—it’s the behavior of a children’s toy, a guessing game with surprise time limits that must work within a set of tight parameters in order to operate at all.
		Establishing and maintaining relationships is hard enough in real life, and a computer game that replicates that process—without the levity, whimsy, or humor so vital in the real world—is something that can never be “fun” in the traditional sense.
		They wanted to challenge and further our perceptions of interaction, and they’ve done so in a way that suggests we might be approaching a new crossroads in computer gaming history.

	Interactive Fiction
		It died out as a commercially viable venture in the late '80s, but was reborn with the Internet boom in the mid-'90s and has spawned a small but active Internet community centered around the newsgroups rec.games.int-fiction and rec.arts.int-fiction.
		It was born into the family Computer Game, but it has since grown up and increasingly hangs out with the Literature crowd (though it still regularly writes home)--which is to say that in much latter-day interactive fiction, particularly things produced since 1996, storytelling has been increasingly emphasized and puzzles deemphasized.
		Not that puzzles are gone, but more and more authors are trying to integrate puzzles into a coherent and compelling plot, rather than (as was often the case in earlier years) letting the story serve as an ostensible premise but populating the thing with puzzles that had nothing to do with the plot.

	The truth about Pygmalion finally revealed (via Jerz's Literacy Weblog)
		Far more interesting to me are the multiply-branching storylines of Emily Short's "Galatea" a text-based computer game in which you play an art critic examining the statue.
		Short's version of Galatea becomes sentient before she comes to life -- that is, she was aware of her creator's actions while she was still a statue; and, when asked, she will describe and reflect on her experiences in a very engaging way.
		I agree entirely with "what if the sculptor were not old, ugly, and ill-kempt, but young, handsome, and well-groomed?" I'm sure that then, it would be ok. While sexism has become unpopular, ageism is often very existant.
