A Sucker in Spades is "based on the author's 'choose your own adventure' story called 'A Sucker in Spades' that was published along with several others in a collection called Hard Boiled. -- Dene Grigar, "Why I Care about Early Interactive Media"
"One dead body, two femme fatales, local mafia, and a lone private eye
roaming the labyrinth of L.A. from one click of the mouse to another. A Sucker in Spades by
Robert DiChiara, is the second eliterature works published by Eastgate
Systems, Inc. in 1988 on . . . the Hypergate platform. It offers a solid
dose of digital, postmodern adventure within the recognisable convention
of hard-boiled fiction and film-noir genres. At the same time it
prefigures future forms of interactive entertainment." -- from ELMCIP
