Downloading the Competition Games

The games for the 2001 competition can be found at the following locations.

• http://ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXgamesXcompetition2001.html
• http://www.wurb.com/if/competition2001/
• http://mirror.ifarchive.org/indexes/if-archiveXgamesXcompetition2001.html

You have several choices of files to download. And please note the late-addition file below: it's not in any of the competition distributions.

• For Windows 95/98/2000/NT/ME, there are two files which contain everything you need. IFComp2001.exe contains all of the games. WinInterpreters.exe has all of the interpreters, which are the programs you'll need to run the games.
• For the Mac, Comp01Text_Mac.sit contains all of the games which have few or no graphics and sound resource files, and Comp01Multimedia_Mac.sit has the multimedia resource files and the games which require multimedia.
• For everyone else, Comp01Text.zip has the games which have few or no graphics and sound resource files, and Comp01Multimedia.zip has the multimedia resource files and the games which require multimedia.

N.B. The walkthrough for The Evil Sorceror (which is in the /inform/evil directory in the competition distribution) got left out of the competition distributions. Please download it separately.

If you download one of the packages which has no interpreters, you will need to get the interpreters yourself. You will need a TADS interpreter, an Inform/z-machine interpreter, a Glulx interpreter, an ALAN interpreter, and (if you're running Windows) the ADRIFT and Quest interpreters.

This year's organizer is Stephen Granade.
