The old days ... Alas!
How did Infocom get started anyway? And what was life like and the
Infocom factory? :) I'd love to have been born a little earlier and get
in on some of the REAL game writing. Today, it seems the dream is gone -
Inform hackers are forced to rely on about what (I'm guessing) - $500
profit at MOST from a game they write (or is this totally wrong?). I
guess it's satisfaction and more spiritual now than substance and money! :)
Just a little young guy in college - wondering what Lebling, Blank, and
Anderson are up to now! Do legends live on, or are they coding for
Microsoft now? :(
