  I like it that they are facilitating adventure games.

  I wonder to what extent it would work to create high quality narrated Infocom style adventure games.

  The logical narrator for everything of course being Stephen Fry.

  IMHO, the Alexa skills store is mostly a way for Amazon have other companies do their product research for them, before they build the features into the platform themselves.
