Now you just knew I was going to make some sort of comment on this didn't you Gnome?
ReplyDeleteWhat? No Mind Forever Voyaging?
I remember seeing those mask versions of Suspended on sale in the store and not getting them. I have that flat box version for C64 instead. Do you remember the version of Starcross that was in the plastic UFO case? Dang, wish I would've picked that one up back in the day too. Expensive now.
I didn't realize the Lost Treasure of Infocom came with black and white copies of all the original booklets. That's pretty cool. I think my Masterpieces of Infocom had some very rough-looking scans of them on the CD but didn't have ANY actual hardcopies or feelies at all...
Well, to be frank, yes; I did expect you do comment on this Infocom thing dear MadPlanet. Apparently, you're pretty easy to lure...
ReplyDeleteAnyway. I sadly couldn't include everything available, but had to pick. Then again you are right, A Mind Forever Voyaging is one of Infocom's very best. And the plastic Starcross is a thing of rare beauty.
Mind you, the Treasures are fine compilations indeed. I cherish and love them.
