There is also an interpreter written in Emacs Lisp, but I can't remember the name. I bought a Masterpieces of Infocom CD when they were still available for purchase. Regrettably, other priorities haven't given me much opportunity to enjoy the games, but as time becomes available in the future I will return to them. Computer games have never attracted my interest, with one exception, namely interactive fiction, especially that by Infocom, which I remember playing as a child on a friend's machine.
