Infocom Infocom: n. A now- legendary games company, active from 1979 to 1989, that commercialized the MDL parser technology used for Zork to produce a line of text adventure games that remain favorites among hackers. Infocom' s games were intelligent, funny, witty, erudite, irreverent, challenging, satirical, and most thoroughly hackish in spirit. The physical game packages from Infocom are now prized collector' s items. After being acquired by Activision in 1989 they did a few more “ modern” ( e. g. graphics- intensive) games which were less successful than reissues of their classics. The software, thankfully, is still extant; Infocom games were written in a kind of P- code ( called, actually, z- code) and distributed with a P- code interpreter core, and not only open- source emulators for that interpreter but an actual compiler as well have been written to permit the P- code to be run on platforms the games never originally graced. In fact, new games written in this P- code are still being written. There is a home page at http:// www. csd. uwo. ca/ Infocom/, and it is even possible to play these games in your browser if it is Java- capable.
