The First Annual Interactive Fiction Competition was created and organized by G. Kevin Wilson in 1995. Only Inform and TADS games were eligible, and were ranked in separate divisions; this changed in the following year.

The top three entries in each category were included in Activision's 1996 commercial release of "Classic Text Adventure Masterpieces of Infocom".

  1. A Change in the Weather (Andrew Plotkin).
  2. The Mind Electric (Jason Dyer).
  3. The Magic Toyshop (Gareth Rees).
  4. MST3K1: Detective (C. E. Forman). Based on Detective (Matt Barringer; 1993; AGT, Z-code).
  5. All Quiet on the Library Front (Michael S. Phillips).
  6. Tube Trouble (Richard Tucker).

1995 IF Comp Results -- TADS Division
