There is also an interpreter written in Emacs Lisp, but I can't remember the
name.

I bought a Masterpieces of Infocom CD when they were still available for
purchase. Regrettably, other priorities haven't given me much opportunity to
enjoy the games, but as time becomes available in the future I will return to
them.

Computer games have never attracted my interest, with one exception, namely
interactive fiction, especially that by Infocom, which I remember playing as a
child on a friend's machine.
