Zork returns … soon
Zork will soon be returning as a browser-based game, put up by the company that owns the ruins of the glory that was Infocom.
That’s pretty cool — I’d especially like it if there were a non-cumbersome iPhone app to play Infocom games — but the best Infocom game is already online in several incarnations, including two illustrated versions from the BBC of, of course, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
I haven’t mentioned it previously here, but the two original Hitchhiker’s radio series are finally available via iTunes, and I’ve been enjoying them way too much. (I even slapped the Hitchhiker’s movie thumb logo onto my iPhone as its wallpaper.)
And I somehow missed this big write-up about the never-released Infocom Hitchhiker’s sequel, Milliways: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
