The Canon Entrance

The Canon
Between 1980 and 1988, Infocom produced 35 text adventures. While later years would see more games released under the Infocom label, these are the canonical works for which Infocom is remembered today. While the game packaging was standardized for a time around the "greybox" format, there were both earlier "folio" and later "slipcase" formats as well. Whether you're looking for these, or for the Commodore, Mastertronic or Solid Gold releases, this is the place to be. Infocomics? InvisiClues? They're here too. So what are you waiting for? Admission is free, so venture in and browse. And share your experience with your friends!


Stuffies Entrance

Stuffies
In addition to the "browsie" and "feelies" -- the game-specific manual and other items Infocom included in its packaging -- each game shipped with several "stuffies". Stuffies usualy included a warranty/registration card, a system reference card with installation instructions specific to the computer system for which is was released, an InvisiClues offer, and a catalog of Infocom products. Over the years, these items changed and evolved. We have a good collection here, but are on the lookout for more!


Infocomics Entrance

Infocomics
As computer hardware evolved, Infocom came under increasing pressure to include graphics in its games. In response to the pressure, in the middle '80s, in conjunction with Tom Snyder (yes, that Tom Snyder) Productions, Infocom produced several "InfoComics", interactive comic books. Though fairly inovative in their day, customer response was lukewarm, and the plug was pulled after only four releases.


Other Entrance

Other Stuff
Fooblitzky, Cornerstone and ZUG -- the Zork Users Group. A potpourri of Infocom-related thingies that don't fit elsewhere. Of particular interest here are the ZUG items, including early game maps for the Zorks and Deadline.
