A Mind Forever Voyaging ( AMFV ) is an interactive fiction game designed and implemented by Steve Meretzky and published by Infocom in 1985.

It was also the first of the " Interactive Fiction Plus " line, meaning that AMFV had greater memory requirements, unlike earlier Infocom games that used a less advanced version of the company's Z-machine interpreter.

AMFV was unusual among Infocom titles ( with the possible exception of Trinity ) in that it addressed political and, according to Meretzky, socially relevant, issues.

Although AMFV was an atypical Infocom game, it nonetheless contained the extra package content known as feelies.

Author Steve Meretzky noted that he had hoped for some controversy with the political content of AMFV.

He is, first and foremost, a defender of public morals, a servant of society.

So it is that we relive his opening statement in the first television address with the dramatic immediacy of the present.

If `` Jack the Courtier '' is really to be taken as Swift, the following remark is obviously Steele's comment on Swift's change of parties and its effect on their friendship: `` I assure you, dear Jack, when I first found out such an Allay in you, as makes you of so malleable a Constitution, that you may be worked into any Form an Artificer pleases, I foresaw I should not enjoy your Favour much longer ''.

At this point a working definition of idea is in order, although our first definition will have to be qualified somewhat as we proceed.

`` History has this in common with every other science: that the historian is not allowed to claim any single piece of knowledge, except where he can justify his claim by exhibiting to himself in the first place, and secondly to any one else who is both able and willing to follow his demonstration, the grounds upon which it is based.

This latter explanation seems closer to the canon established by the main Infocom game series, since in Spellbreaker, if the player is shapeshifted into a grue and remains in a lit area for too long the light eventually kills him / her ( and it is implied that the amount of light to which he or she is exposed is so faint as to be invisible to human eyes ).
