Too many of you are too young to know WTF I’m talking about here. But for the 3 people who see this story and recognize the name Infocom, you can read a 51 page discourse on the rise and fall of this historic company. If you don’t want to download and read the previously linked PDF, you can hit the introduction page to view a section by section layout or a slideshow of highlights.
To save you the trouble of tracking down information about Infocom (known first for Zork), I’ll go ahead and throw out an info link for the lazy here. Also, to get a sample of Infocom’s work, try out Zork online.
