The game is also buggy, but that is forgivable given the game's complexity and scope vis-a-vis hardware limitations in 1982. Even with a very high difficulty level and a buggy and limited parser, Deadline still ranks as one of the best Infocom - and murder mystery - games ever made. It is very well-written, full of believable and memorable. Free online version of classic Infocom text adventure released. The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy 30th Anniversary edition is a free online version of the classic Infocom text adventure originally released back in 1983. Notoriously difficult to complete, but great fun nevertheless (if you like old school text adventuring), this is a welcome. Infocom's history. Infocom was the company that came out with some of the first and dearest adventures. Remember the Zork and Enchanter trilogies, Trinity, A Mind Forever Voyaging? Unfortunately, after the company was bought by Activision in 1986, the games soon went out of stock. 'Classic Text Adventure Masterpieces Of Infocom' was sold in 1996 and includes all the contents of the two Lost Treasures of Infocom collections except for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and James Clavell's Shogun, but CTAMoI inculded the adult game Leather Goddesses of Phobos and six games from winners of Interactive Fiction Competition. List of Infocom games, including any Infocom made games for any platform and console. This Infocom games list features photos or box covers, and the release date of each game when available. This Infocom video games library is sorted by popularity, so the most well-known releases are at the top of.
Well, this may be of no interest to anyone, and certainly has little to do with my indie game development, but it's my blog, so there! A project I've been working on for decades has been to win all of the old text adventures by Infocom. These classic games were released during (and just before) my teenage years, and thus hold a special place of nostalgia for me.

My copy of the games came from the 'Lost Treasures of Infocom', volumes 1 and 2. I think I still have the floppy disks around somewhere. The official list of games has 35 canonical Infocom games. Right away I'm going to rule out three of the late games, Journey, Arthur, and Shogun, for a variety of semi-lame excuses:
Infocom Games Android
- They featured heavy illustration, rather than strictly text based (especially Journey, which apparently can be played without keyboard at all).
- They aren't part of my Lost Treasures collections.
- They are reviewed quite poorly (except for Journey).
- I already have enough of these games to play!
I'm also going to rule out Sherlock, based on the 'developed by Challenge Inc' tagline; Infocom was just the publisher.
So, that leaves me with 31 games. Prior to today, I had completed 13 of them. Let's make a list, in order of best to worst. I should note that this is a bit speculative (and very subjective!) as it has been decades since I played some of these, but based on memory:
