"Hamlet" and "Aunts and Butlers", two browser-based IF games that I wrote ages ago and thought I'd lost till I found them on an old laptop the other day, are now back online at http://versificator.net . Enjoy!

Thanks again. I had a great time yesterday playing Hamlet. It played beautifully offline in my iPod Touch (really!), and it hit a sweet spot for me - just the right touch of old-school, sparse but evocative, funny, and the implementation was just right: not too much so's you'd get lost in the frills, not too little so's you'd get frustrated.
I got stuck at Desdemona for a while, but when I solved that one - and like all goof IF puzzles, I solved it in my head and gleefully went to try it out, and was mighty pleased when it worked - it felt *great*.
I really, really liked Hamlet. Thanks again!
