if you all like those games I'd really appreciate it if you would test mine.
I want to make sure it has no bugs.
the one I want tested is called the new Castle.
you can get a copy by going to trek7.sorceforge.net and follow the links to
castle.
it has dos/windows, Mac, and Linux versions.
trek7 is also there and is a port from the Fortran code from the 70s.
it probably has lots of bugs.
but I always felt trek7 was the best text based trek game ever made.
I wish someone could fix the networking. it was multi player. that was a
lot of fun.

Speaking of Zork, someone actually created a Zork Slackbot for Slack. You
can have regular conversations and then randomly insert Zork commands and
have it execute based on where you are in the game. Can become a channel
group Zork effort.
Which Infoscape game box had the 3D face in it?

Hello.
Finally managed to snag an SX-64 and would like to try my hand at some
Infocom games.. Prices on eBay seem to be ridiculously high. If anybody
is willing to part with any of them, please let me know . I’d love to get a
copy of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, or Zork, both of which I have
never played.
Thanks.
