Yes, Inform is one of those systems I was talking about. Graham Nelson
reverse engineered Infocom's z-machine format and wrote a compiler for
it still in the nineties. Inform 7 is the latest evolution: a (almost)
natural language parser that compiles to previous Inform 6 format. It's
a joy to behold. Unfortunately I don't have enough english skills
(mostly vocabulary) nor literary talent to try my hand at writing games
with it.
