[net.games] New adventure game from Infocom

kek@mgweed.UUCP (Kit Kimes) (09/04/85)

Infocom is about to release a new adventure designed for advanced
adventurers.  It is called A MIND FOREVER VOYAGING and is written
by Steve Meretzky, co-author of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy',
and author of 'Planetfall' and 'Sorcerer'.  Promising a highly literary
focus, A MIND FOREVER VOYAGING is a departure from other Infocom stories.
Instead of being puzzle-oriented, the story involves you in a highly-
detailed, often chilling world of the future.  The first in a new series
of Interactive Fiction Plus titles, the series uses a new development
system with expanded memory to eliminate some of the barriers that hinder
the player's interaction with the story.  The working vocabulary has been
increased to over 1700 words.  Infocom follows the direction of other
software developers as this program will run on 128K only (Apple, IBM,
Atari ST, Macintosh and Amiga) and will retail for $44.95.

This information comes from the September 1985 issue of Computer
Entertainer, a newsletter that reviews software and hardware for all
makes of home computers (and video game systems when there is anything
to report).
