In the five years after I wrote my first computer program in 1985, I filled dozens of floppy disks with program after program, mostly games, and many of them adventure games. These efforts culminated in Fantasy Quest in 1991, which has since been ported to Adventure Games Live. The games I wrote prior to that were primitive in comparison -- sometimes hilariously, awfully so -- but they abound with nostalgia and the charm of innocence. The Early Years is a collection of 22 of these early games of mine, ported to Adventure Games Live with every misspelling and most of the bugs intact.

More Early Years is an anthology of the early adventure games of mine, written between 1985 and 1990, that missed inclusion in The Early Years, plus a wide assortment of bonus features showcasing other computing projects from my childhood. Among the highlights are my first ever command-based game, a couple more from my brother Jake, and -- if you make it to the very end -- a hilarious brand new 2007 game based on (and parodying) an unused 1986 design. As with The Early Years, bugs and misspellings have been preserved in their full ignominious glory.
