HI Lisa,
Beats me. I never got the point of that game either. Perhaps the
authors were smoking too much weed when they wrote that one? :D

It's usually help or hints, or there are sometimes speciic hints files with
the games the ways h2g2 had.

Ah kieth, obviously the site is no longer up.
Still, as I said, most infocom games include the invisiclues as part of
their hints now (h2g2 certainly does for instance).

Actually tom, most versions of the infocom software usually hve the
invisiclue hints built into them, and even those that don't the hints can be
found on http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~pete/Infocom/Invisiclues/
However, I really dislike a game where the choice is look at hints or remain
stuck forever

Hi Keith,
Yeah, that's exactly why I gave up on a lot of the Infocom games. Its
not just that the puzzles would drive me half insane, but a lot of
them depended on the documentation that came with the product. I guess
they did that to try and protect the software from piracy, and without
the books

Hi.
Actually Arthur, shogun etc are quite playable with the standard version of

to "infocom files dat, zip" and then open them, or use the winfrotz program

Hi Kieth.
To be honest i never even got that far in zork, in zork 1 I was always
stuck on how to get the silver bar out of the echo room.
I think for me what irritates me with those sorts of puzzles is that you
rest of the game and the story than just banging
my head against one particular brick wall, which is probably why I don't
play if anymore.

My only complaint about the infocom series of text adventures is that
seemingly all of them either have mazes or puzzles that are next to
impossible to figure out. Zork 1 has the mines and the theif's lair, zork
2 has the bank puzzle, and zork 3 has the wall pushing puzzle. Sure if you
