Some might say that's because Zork was my first, but I >think it's because it was one of the best. My gaming started with the Atari 2600 but when I moved to a Commodore 64 I started playing text adventures. Most of those from Infocom. The only two text adventures I ever actually finished was Planetfall and Stationfall. I still have the glow-in-the-dark purple rock that came with Wishbringer. It still works. :-P Fun fact. If you liked Infocom games back in the day, the best system to own was the Commodore 128. More Infocom games worked on that system then any other.
