Another casualty of the UK Online Safety Act: all interactive fiction (inc traditional parser text adventures) games stored at http://ifarchive.org are currently geoblocked to UK users. IFTF folks are trying to work out a solution, but there is no clue how long that might take. IFArchive holds 30+ years worth of generally amateur/free IF games - a vast number. Including my own. Which I can't play online right now. Not that I want to but it's ironic! #interactiveFiction #OnlineSafetyAct #games
