This month, Infocom is releasing Macintosh versions of its line of text adventures. The
programs, translated from the Apple II versions, contain few changes from the originals.
Each game accepts compound sentence commands and has a large vocabulary.

The Zork trilogy chronicles the history of a great lost empire that once existed underground.
*Zorks I* and *II* use standard scoring and standard goals, while *Zork III* has an unusual
scoring system that awards points for appropriate actions, not the solving of puzzles.
*Zork I*, $39.95; *Zork II* and *Zork III*, $49.95 each.

*Infidel* stars an antihero in a desperate quest for treasure in the Middle East. $49.95.

In *Deadline*, the detective has twelve hours to find out who killed an unpopular millionaire.
Careless detectives can meet their end, while slow ones may miss important clues.
$59.95.

In *Starcross*, the hero is a space prospector confronted with the mystery of an apparently
abandoned alien ship. $59.95.

*Witness* is a campy 1930s murder mystery that reflects the then-popular style of pulp
detective fiction. $39.95.

*Suspended* is a space adventure requiring players to control six robots that can act
simultaneously. Each robot has an individual character and special abilities. $59.95.

*Enchanter* is the first of a trilogy sequel to the Zorks that expands interaction with the
other characters, goes above ground, and features the use of logical magic. $39.95.

*Planetfall* is a science-fiction text adventure in which a lovable robot steals the show.
$39.95.

*Seastalker* casts the player as the main character in a submarine quest to save the
world's first undersea research station. The game was designed for beginners and is recommended
for those nine years old and up. $39.95.

*Sorcerer* is the second release in the sequel to the Zork series. Magic is emphasized. Sorcerer's
parser understands a vocabulary of more than 1,000 words. $49.95. Infocom, 55 Wheeler
Street, Cambridge, MA02138; (617) 492-1031.
