Infocom was founded by the main programmers of Zork. But alas Infocom
has gone down the drain, and I don't even know why!

Anyway, I've written an interpreter for infocom adventures for the Archimedes.
If you have the adventure data files on your IBM/Apple II or Atari ST,
you just have to transfer them to the Archimedes and can play.

Maybe I'll post the interpreter (know as ZIP, the Z-Code Interpreter) to
comp.binaries.acorn.
