I’m finally on my way to finishing every Infocom game ever made, in chronological order. I just finished Zork I, so I believe that puts me now at Deadline. I’ll be replaying the games I’ve already completed, but that’s not too many.

The “Infocom Experience” is what I have dubbed the act of playing completely through every single Infocom text game from first to last in Chronological order, one right after the other. It doesn’t really matter how long it takes, but every game must be played, and for a bonus after you’re finished you can play the graphic games like Shogun and Arthur. The Infocom Documentation Project should be consulted before and during each game to get as much of the “feelie” experience as possible (and because many of the games can’t be completed without the instructions).
The games are available out there somewhere. Try ebay…
I’m starting on Zork today. I’ll keep this place posted on my progress. Let me know if you want to join in!
