I was hoping that someone out there might be able to provide me with some info
on the Zork Series.  Back when the C64 was popular I had a copy of these games
(ie. Zork I, II, and III).  Now that I have an IBM I wanted to get a copy of 
these (and any other of the Infocom games) that might still be available.  Any
one have any ideas, or anyone interested in selling/trading these games.  Also,
I am also in need of the clues on how to complete each of these.  Hopefully,
someone out there can help me.

Thanks

Any responses can be directed to me at the following email address:

As a matter of fact, Activision (who bought the busted remains of Infocom)
JUST released The Lost Treasures Of Infocom, that includes 20 games (Zork
I, II, III are there).   $57.99 at Electronics Boutique.

I am trying to get a complete PC Infocom collection.

If you want to play the Mainframe Zork, before the MIT Grad students 
formed Infocom and had to break it into 3 parts, anonymous FTP from
PITA.RL.AF.MIL [192.43.152.20] from the directory hzpdlib the file
DUNGEON.ZIP


Happy Zorking!

When I was in Egghead Software a few weeks back I saw that they are now
selling a single box for $49 that contains almost *ALL* the Infocom
games!!!

It is nice to see that they are available again.

I have a friend in Maine who is looking for LTOI for the PC.  If anyone
has a mail order phone number where it can be found, or a store in the
Waterbury (spelling?) Maine area, please e-mail me.

Thanks.
