根据wiki的介绍,对“Interactive fiction”本身的认知是有不同范围的(正如开篇最后一句所说,像《神秘岛》也属于广义的“Interactive fiction”)( Q; z) J1 ]" Z/ C8 \, ?
但无论如何“Interactive fiction”本意还是指能够文字输入的冒险游戏(In common usage, the word refers to text adventures, a type of adventure game with text-based input and output)——这一点可能有点超出了我们的接触范围,老实说,更像单机版的文字MUD- W) d% B' D& i) [5 S; U

% o" s: F. t P, X. C2 dInput is usually provided by the player in the form of simple sentences such as "get key" or "go east" which may be handled by a simple parser. Parsers vary in sophistication; the first text adventure parsers could only handle two-word sentences in the form of verb-noun pairs. Later parsers could handle increasing levels of complexity from sentences such as "open the red box with the green key then go north". This level of complexity is the standard for works of interactive fiction today.

Works of interactive fiction function like single-player Multi-User Dungeons or 'MUDs', and the original MUD was actually a multi-player generalization of Zork (one version of which was called Dungeon). MUDs, which became popular in the mid-1980s, rely on a textual exchange and accept similar commands from players as do works of IF, but the social aspects and the communities of players who participate are often the most important features of MUDs.6 p7 w+ d2 h, `- j0 m& w7 Z

不过,话说回来,虽然在wiki中Interactive fiction=text adventure,但个人觉得至少中文里的“文字冒险”并不能如此直接挂钩(更何况,wiki其实本身也可能有错误的地方) |
