Apollo 18+20: The IF Tribute Album

We’re proud to be hosting Apollo 18+20: The IF Tribute Album. This is a collaboration of various members of the interactive fiction community (including a good number from the People’s Republic of IF) to create a tribute in honor of the 20th anniversary of the release of the They Might Be Giants album Apollo 18. For each track on the album, there is a corresponding short interactive fiction game. The “Fingertips” tracks from the album, each a few seconds long, are represented by one-move games.

The games are playable online or offline, so give them a try!
