  • From http://www.ainewsletter.com/newsletters/aix_0407.htm#code_corner , I will blithely assume that Dennis Merritt authored all the Amzi! IF games and released them simultaneously in July 2004.
  • I'll assume Template Game isn't an actual 'game'.
  • I'm assuming that the Anzi! port of Cloak of Darkness isn't eligible.
• XYZZYnews site (which gives almost nothing when searching for 2004)
• ALAN site [nothing new as of Dec 19, 2004; only game mentioned was that there was one in the annual comp.]
• Hugo site [Future Boy!, of course]
• Brass Lantern [nothing; doesn't seem to have a section for new IF games]
• special thanks to Greg Boettcher for many additions
• 24 Hours of Inform (the 3rd HOI games will be released in 2005)
