Patchwork Girl
Shelley Jackson1995
Patchwork Girl tells the story through illustrations of parts of a female body that are stitched together through text and image. The narrative of the story is divided into five segments, titled: "a Graveyard", "a Journal", "a Quilt", "a Story", and "& broken accents." The goal of the piece is to not only make the reader realize the structure of the Patchwork Girl as a whole but also realize all the pieces that must be "patched" together in order to create one unified structure.
Uncle Buddy's Phantom Funhouse
John McDaid1993
Art "Buddy" Newkirk has disappeared and left you his literary estate. By the looks of it, he and his friends were a very odd bunch. You might have enjoyed knowing them. But you don't: why does "Uncle" Buddy think you do? Where is he, anyway? And what does this have to do with Meister Eckhart and the New York City subway? To find out, you'll have to pop the floppies into your Mac, drop the tapes into your boombox, and get ready to meet Buddy's friends, read his email, listen to his band, and sort out his (very strange) Tarot deck. Surreal and humorous, this is a world you will often return to and long remember.
King of Space
Sarah Smith1991
'King of Space' is a hypertext-based game in a science-fiction setting. The work was published in 1991 and remains one of a handful of e-lit works that tackle the science fiction genre. A dark science-fictional ritual of fertility and regeneration, 'King of Space' takes place in an abandoned starship, circling the edges of a plague-ridden and collapsing solar system, where an escaped terrorist meets the last star-captain and his ship's Priestess. Old man and young, young woman and ageless starship meet and meet again as enemies, allies, rapists, and lovers.
Afternoon, a story
Michael Joyce1990
The hypertext fiction tells the story of Peter, a recently divorced man who witnessed a car crash. Hours later, he suspects that the wrecked car may have involved his ex-wife and their son. The plot may change each time it is read if the reader chooses different paths.

Eastgate Systems1983
You have to destroy advancing enemies while navigating through a maze.
