Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Early Years (2005) and its sequel More Early Years (2007) are Interactive Fiction games hosted on Adventure Games Live. Unlike the site's other games, however, they are collections of shorter games written by the site's creator, Sam Stoddard, as a child; the culmination of all these games was Fantasy Quest, the first game released on Adventure Games Live.All of the games have been reproduced as they originally were as best they can on the Adventure Games Live system, and feature suitably self-deprecating commentary by Stoddard throughout. The Early Years comprises the most usable of the games, whilst More Early Years completes the collection with patched-up versions of the less playable or incomplete ones and other archive material from Stoddard's childhood.

comment
Whenever a game would become Unwinnable by Design or Unintentionally Unwinnable, the game will kill you immediately so you can undo your last move (for example, if you eat one of your items in Space-Man), or ignore the unwinnable state while mentioning that the game would have been unwinnable (if you lose Excalibur in Camelot's Curse before killing the giant warrior).

Anti-Frustration Features: Although you wouldn't be able to undo the fatal moves in the original versions, you can in Adventure Games Live, which is especially welcome here due to how many of the puzzles have completely arbitrary solutions that require you to pick a choice from a list and hope it's the right one. The Giant Flea is a large, near-featureless maze with impossible geography; it got left out of The Early Years for this reason, and Stoddard didn't have the heart to not give the player a map for its inclusion in More Early Years.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
