Abstract

A method and apparatus are provided for enabling user interaction with a branch-structured narrative entertainment (90) in which branch path selection (A, B, C) is made at least partially in response to user input. A user is provided with a non-volatile memory, such as a smart card, in which memory is stored data specifying a record of past user interactions. This data is periodically checked and updated by the apparatus and, at one or more branch points (92) of the narrative, access to one or more branch paths (A, B, C) is enabled or denied on the basis of the stored user history.
