Infocom has announced Suspended, the sixth game in the Interlogic product
line. Suspended joins such adventure games as Deadline, Starcross, and the
Zork trilogy. Interlogic games are highly interactive and feature a programming
language that permits complete sentence communication between
player and computer. The games run on virtually any computer, including DEC
Rainbow, TI Professional Computers, Osborne 1, NEC APC. and 8-inch
CP/M-based systems.

In Suspended, you and your six robot assistants must rescue the population
of a planet deep in outer space. While in a limited state of cryogenic
suspension, you must repair damage on the planet with your robots. The
robots, which can act for you independently of one another, can be sent to different
locations and make subsequent moves. Suspended is the first Interlogic
game to have a functional game board with movable pieces. Estimated
playing time is 30 hours.

Suspended, which was released early last month, is the brainchild of Michael
Berlyn. It costs $49.95 and is marketed through software distributors, major
retail stores, and personal computer manufacturers. Infocom Inc. has its headquarters
at 55 Wheeler St., Cambridge, MA 02138, (617) 492-1031.
