- baggy_trough 3y agoIt's pretty hard to play, unfortunately. It runs in a strange dos box and the "terminal" is pretty ugly to deal with.

- beej71 3y agoThey could still do this after a CC licensing, too. The press would probably give them a sales boost. :)

- timbit42 3y agoIt's also DRM-free on my Commodore 64.
- thaumasiotes 3y agoNot just those; Return to Zork, Zork Grand Inquisitor, and Zork Nemesis are there too. (Zork Nemesis is pretty unlike other Zork games.)
- glimshe 3y agoThey must barely make any money from them. When I read the title of this article, I thought "Gosh, I have a plea too... Can they free the Infocom games?" - and the article was exactly about that. We've been waiting for over a decade... Microsoft, if you are reading this... Pretty please? It would also send a good message to regulators that something good came out of this.
