Where can I find about other Infocom games?

  • Infocom games have a rather large following on the Internet.  The best place to learn about Infocom games and such is the Unofficial Infocom Web Site.

    Or, if you want something more official, check out the Activison Web Page

    A note to AOL users:  type in the URL, and don't put it as a Favorite Place, as it seems to never connect right (at least on my computer).  If all else fails, go to the Yahoo web site (www.yahoo.com), and search for "Infocom".
