Zork And The Z-Machine: Bringing The Mainframe To 8-bit Home Computers
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Infocom, one of my most favorite game companies, I’m reminding everyone I spent half a year scanning thousands of pages from Steve Meretzky’s file cabinet and got almost the entire paper history of Infocom up:
