To my great regret, they were absorbed by Mediagenic, and are now just another
imprint on a line that consists almost exclusively of graphic action games.
All the old games, Zork trilogy, Planetfall, etc, have been allowed to fall
by the wayside, and are now hard to get.  I _t_h_i_n_k they still sell
Zork Zero and Beyond Zork, but I could be wrong.  If you are lucky, Egghead
can still order a few of the games, but the prices are in the $45 range.
