F.I.S.T.: Fantasy Interactive Scenarios by Telephone

An interactive fantasy adventure played over the telephone, placing participants in alternate worlds and roles. Players call a dedicated number, make initial setup choices, and listen to a narrated scenario accompanied by pre-recorded sound effects. At decision points, touch-tone keypad selections determine the next stage of the adventure, creating a branching quest in the style of a gamebook. Calls are charged by the minute and are available only in designated areas.
