Wired is reporting that Dave Lebling [1] and Mark Blank [2], two of the co-creators of Zork and co-founders of Infocom, will be honored with the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences’ Pioneer Award at the DICE Summit [3] in February. Read the whole announcement here [4] and then check out an interview conducted with Lebling by Wired writer Chris Kohler. In an interesting twist, the interview is presented as a playable text adventure using Playfic [5], an online community that lets you write, remix, share, and play interactive text-based games with the world.
