What they say

"[the game] does not represent the real capabilities of the Alan Language but does demonstrate Alan's amazing ability to allow someone who has never done an iota of computer programming of any kind to produce SOMETHING within a few weeks!"

Eric Mayer (on his game HeBGB Horrors)

"I think it's the best IF language I've ever seen - and I *am* a programmer."

Andrew Heale

"I think its most attractive quality is simplicity, a quality that no other adventure creation language possesses."

Walt Sandsquish

"I-F languages are like vehicles ... using Alan is like driving a zippy, easy-handling little electric town car -- it's often all you need to take you where you want to go."

Lelah Conrad

"I gotta say, I love it!"

Robert DeFord

"Man, I just finished programming a little game with Alan, and let me tell you ALAN RULES!! It's so simple, *I* can program with it."

Rob Anderson
