* How did you get into Interactive Fantasies?
I'd been mailing with Hydra for a long time and I started mailing with Herc too when he started ADBI (I would be Keeper of knowledge or something shagadelic like that). When some guy left IF and they where looking for members, I joined.

* Describe your history in the ZZT scene.
I searched for ZZT games on the web and I downloaded a couple. My collection started growing and then I downloaded King's Quest ZZT by Hydra. I thought it kicked all ass and mailed him, he mailed back and that's kinda how it started. I mailed him my first game (Rosewood Knight) and he beta-tested it. He kinda liked it (altough the graphics weren't that good ). I made Trist the elf (Zenith actually did a review on that one). I wasn't very busy finishing ZZT games, but I had a lot of ideas and games I started on. When IF lost a member, I sent in all that stuff and I joined IF. That's the story up 'till now.

* Who or what are the inspirations for your ZZT (or MegaZeux) work?
Hydra78, Booth, John Shipley, Blue Magus, Legend of Brandonia (who made that game?) and a lot of adventure games I played.

Fishfood
[ member from april 2001 - december 2002 ]

* How did you get into Interactive Fantasies?
Herc was asking Draco and Rob_P In #Darkdigital if they had any good suggestions for IF members. So I shouted Fishfood and here I am :P. Of course, I have already made a few games and asked to join IF a few times in the past.

* Describe your history in the ZZT scene.
Hmm...I wondered around AOL for a while a made a big (But incredibly bad game) that got lost in the midsts of time. Then I met Viovis, who let me join his company, which at the time was owned by Baram Arrowen. I actually released a game after about a year, called ERA, and from then left ERI to form my own company with Igsel and Drag and Zam which was quite succesfull for a while...I came back to ERI but after realising I sucked at being a president I drifited around some more until PRESENT DAY.

* Who or what are the inspirations for your ZZT (or MegaZeux) work?
Hmm..I've played around with a lot of different genre's. I would like to think theres something of Viovis in hallucina, and Dark soul was very X-files like. But I'm sure im not the only one that watches a TV program or plays a game and thinks 'Wow, I could do that in ZZT!'

* What is your favorite ASCII char?
In my mind, they are all equal. FREEDOM FOR ASCII!

"I think Im gonna rename SRPG to FINAL FANTASY 69, or something..." - Knightt

Rob P is actually the guy out of the dungeons and dragons movie. Am I the only one that can see this?!

April, from the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. SHE IS SO ME.

FreeZerBurn
[ member from february 2000 - september 2000 ]

* How did you get into Interactive Fantasies?
The way I see it, I think it was just me being a complete annoyance to Herc... I kinda liked my graphics, and the only thing I've released so far is my art collection, that now that I look back on, isn't near as good as some of the stuff I've pumped out. (note, that does not include the 2000 24 hours of art.)

* Describe your history in the ZZT scene.
I got zzt several years ago, maybe 4 or 5. I never liked it, because I didn't discover STK, so I programmed temporarily with MegaZeux, which I soon quit and didn't touch either of them for about 3 or 4 years... I then discovered zzt.org, a neat little site with a bunch of games. I came into the community post-chaos and disorder. And stayed along with it, until showing my head by starting a company, Groundzero Interactive. Later though, I quite GZI and joined Eagle Rock Interactive, when Dragonlord was president. Even later then, I joined Interactive Fantasies. Welcome to the present.

* Who or what are the inspirations for your ZZT (or MegaZeux) work?
My inspirations outside of the community would be more along the lines of authors, such as Stephen King, and Orson Scott Card ( I wrote 2 games, now in the freezer, Ruin, and Negative Intentions, after his award winning, Enders game, and Speaker for the Dead, which is now most likely my favorite book.) Along movie-wise, Dark City, (IE. Dark Metropolis) Pulp Fiction, Event Horizon, The Matrix, From dusk till dawn, and The Green Mile. My inspirations inside the ZZT community, are Tseng, Blue Magus, Draco, and Ringworm.

* What is your favorite ASCII char?
I'm not sure what the number is, but it's a funky looking "F" so. IE. Freezerburn.

* What is your favorite quote?
Land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy.

* What is your favorite conspiracy theory?
That the government are actually plotting to kill us all, and starting to rule the world by force of the military of which, it owns. Plus I also think that Kurt Cobain killed Tupac, in which The B.I.G hired Courtney to kill Kurt. In which, Courtney killed the B.I.G also.

* What is your favorite character in a ZZT game who says only one or a few lines?
Sidepocket from the Gem Hunter series.

* Who is your favorite South Park character?
Kyle. Of course.

* Which movie star or cartoon hero would resemble yourself best?
Keanu Reeves' looks, mixed with George Clooney's bad-ass ways.
