The critics consider Infocom's adventures the undisputed leaders in language handling
ability and in the creativity and logic of the problems. As Margot Tommervik wrote in
the March 1982 review of *Zork II* in *Softalk*:

"*Zork II* is a delight to play. A text adventure, it is of the high-quality, logic-loyal wing
of that genre, populated only by such gems as the original *Adventure*, *Zork*, and *Cyborg*.
Where *Cyborg* reached — and retains — the mountaintop in terms of plot and integration
of player with adventure, *Zork II* joins *Zork* as the ultimate in text adventuring technique
and communication."

"What?", you ask, "There's a game which threatens the supremacy of *Zork*?" Although
*Cyborg* was very well received by the critics, many adventurers are not familiar with it
since it was not distributed widely.

*Cyborg* was written by Michael Berlyn, an accomplished science fiction writer. (Michael
is the author of *Crystal Phoenix* and *The Integrated Man*.) During the summer of 1982
he joined the staff at Infocom and has toiled since then on his best work to date:
*Suspended*. You will find that *Suspended* thrusts you into a thoroughly believable and
engrossing plot, with the creative problems and intelligent input you've come to expect in
an Infocom game.

With Michael Berlyn's writing skills and Infocom's technology, how can you lose?
