Apollo 18+20 The IF Tribute Album Honoring the 1992 album by They Might be Giants Cover image by Ryan Veeder So, a bunch of us made some interactive fiction games, one game per track on the album Apollo 18 by They Might Be Giants. The regular tracks are generally short games. The Fingertips tracks are one-move games (however the authors interpreted that). Here’s They Might Be Giants. They have lots of great albums besides this one, and you should go buy them all. Here’s the original post about the tribute, and here are the games. You can play them online via the links below, or you can download them to play offline (updated June 4, 2012, 1704 EDT). See “How Do I Play?” at the left if you’re unsure what to do. 01.
