    With the IF subgenre being probably the best suited to implement with hyperlinks

    WTF are you talking about? IF != choose your own adventure books. They typically have complex user interactions involving manipulation of in-game objects using what is, in many cases, a remarkably complex grammar. To suggest this can be done with simple hyperlinks betrays a deep misunderstanding of the nature of IF.
