Here is my vote for a net.games.INFOCOM. To start this off here is a
posting.
Can anybody out their send me instructions for Starcross. It is rather
difficult to play without instructions (and NO it is not an illegal copy).
I just don't have the instructions and I can't even come up with the
proper phrase to read the coordinates off the output. HELP!!!

Seriously, if the only purpose of net.games.infocom is going to be to encourage piracy, maybe it's not such a great idea. -- David desJardins

HELP!!! > If you are missing the instructions, and you really don't have a pirated copy. Call InfoCom. I believe that if you can prove that you bought one of their games with parts missing, they will replace whatever is missing.

We've all heard the excuses used to say how we lost this and we lost that. Perhaps the first poster has indeed gotten a game kit without the appropriate parts (e.g. no map or reference card). How many of you have never had things like this happen? Myself, I received a copy of Framework II that was missing SYSTEM DISK 2, *AND* the APPS DISK. Explain that one :-) A simple phone call solved my problem, but perhaps the store where this guy bought his game doesn't care about return business (i.e. satisfied customers), and will not exchange the package? Yes, he should then deal with Infocom directly. But then he doesn't have their address does he, after all, he is missing the instruction book. The other side is of course he's guilty all hell of copyright infringement, but I think I'll choose to trust him and send along Infocom's address so that he may pursue getting what he has asked for. I'm even tempted to include the coordinates for Mars to help him along, what the heck... COMPUTER, RANGE IS 250, THETA IS 120, PHI IS 012 Computers response goes here... COMPUTER, CONFIRM NEW COURSE Computers response goes here... This will help some, but not alot :-) Their address is: INFOCOM, Inc. 55 Wheeler Street Cambridge, MA. 02138 Sorry, no phone numbers. Adios los amigos, hastan luegos... Bye :-)
