I like it that they are facilitating adventure games.

I wonder to what extent it would work to create high quality narrated Infocom style adventure games.

The logical narrator for everything of course being Stephen Fry.

That's interesting indeed, thanks for sharing.

If you're interested in the genre, "Hunt the Yeti" is a new adventure game that was released a few days ago and seems to be well received based on the reviews (I have not yet played it).

I hope they don't all end up being locked into the Echo platform - there's no reason such games couldn't work just as well on a smartphone. Although I suppose Amazon's platform may boost a better and easier-to-use speech recognition engine.
