------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Infocom Game Information Paul D. Smith paul_smith@dg.com Last Update: 13 Jan 1993 The table below contains all Infocom games and all known information about each game and each revision. All the information below was con- tributed by Paul David Doherty , except most of the product codes and difficulty ratings and all the information on LTOI II for the IBM-PC, which were contributed by Daniel Sharpe , and the information on LTOI I & II for the Macintosh, which was contributed by me :-). The columns in the table and their meanings are as follows: Game Title Specifies the title of the game. Games are listed in alphabeti- cal order. Aut (Author) Lists the initials of the author(s) of the game. Au- thors are listed below, along with what they were known to be do- ing in March, 1992: DA Douglas Adams - Working on the 5th book in the HHGttG series DAn Dave Anderson - ? BB Bob Bates - President of Legend Entertainment LCJ Liz Cyr-Jones - ? MBe Michael Berlyn - Writes SEGA games for Accolade MB Marc Blank - Owns a ComputerLand store in Bend AB Amy Briggs - A PhD candidate in Experimental Psychology JC James Clavell - ? SG Stu Galley - Works at Thinking Machines Corp. JL Jim Lawrence - ? DL David Lebling - Writes a spreadsheet SM Steve Meretzky - Writes adventures for Legend Entertainment BM Brian Moriarty - Works at Lucasfilm Games JON Jeff O'Neill - ? JW Jerry Wolper - ? DL (Difficulty Level): Many of the Infocom games, especially the earlier ones, were rated with a difficulty level. The levels are (in increasing order of difficulty): I Introductory S Standard A Advanced E Expert - None Given Note that there are widely differing opinions as to the accuracy of these ratings, especially between E (Expert) and A (Advanced). Prodct (Product Code): The product codes for the games are given in this column. They denote the type of the game and the number in that type: the types are: CS Immortal Legends (designed by Challenge, Inc.) IA Interactive (Tales of) Adventure IC Interactive Comedy IE Interactive Espionage IH Interactive Horror IJ Interactive Journey (?) IK Interactive Junior-level (Kids?) IL Interactive Living Literature (Legend?) IM Interactive Mystery IR Interactive Romance IS Interactive Science Fiction IZ Interactive Fantasy (Zork Series) Rel Num (Release Number): The release number of the game. All games with the same release number are compatible in that saved files from one release number can be played by other versions of that game with the same release number. Serial Number The serial number of the game: note the serial number is actually the date the version was released, in YYMMDD format. Some games have more than one serial number for the same release number; this means that some minor changes were made and the game was re- released, but that the two versions are compatible (see above). Z-Code Version Specifies which version of ZIL (Zork Interpreted Language) the game is written in. The versions are as follows: 3 Standard Series 4 Plus Series 5 Solid Gold Interactive Fiction 6 Graphic Interactive Fiction If the version is postfixed with (snd) it means that version of that game supports sound. LTOI Num. The Lost Treasures of Infocom package in which the game was re- released (if any). Currently there are two packages: I and II. They have both been released for the IBM PC, Macintosh, and Amiga computer systems. The table contains information for all except the Amiga version of LTOI II, since I haven't received info from anyone who has it yet. Parenthesized postfixes specify which version of a game is included in the package for the machine: a Amiga m Macintosh p IBM PC No postfix means the same version is available for all three sys- tems. PI? If the game is playable with version 3 of the portable Infocom datafile interpreter then this column contains a ``Y''. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Infocom Game Information List | +----------------------+-----+---+-----+-----+--------+---------+-------+-----+ | Game Title | Aut | D | Pro | Rel | Serial | Z-Code | LTOI | PI? | | | hor | L | dct | Num | Number | Version | Num. | | +----------------------+-----+---+-----+-----+--------+---------+-------+-----+ |A Mind Forever | SM | A | IS5 | 77 | 850814 | 4 | II | -
