How Did You Get Into Making Interactive Games?

In the 19 eighties, text games had been really big. They were some of the best selling games in the very early computer era. i discovered when i was in college that there was a whole community of people on line who were still making new games like this. So all these people on line were experimenting with making these games. There were annual jams and competitions and this whole community. And i got really into that, that community of people, and started making work and experimenting.
