I’m not taking any chances whether or not they’re one and the same. I’m not going to support them. Update: Turns out the two are different. Infocom games is defunct and InfoCom Corp. is a completely different type of company that just has the same name as the interactive fiction gaming giant. Good thing too, I missed the interactive games. Damn, just when I get a great idea for my error pages… Now I have to change them.

I remember having to type in a game like these into my old IBM PC Jr. before I could play it. Forgot what little game it was. Probably got the code from an issue of K-Power magazine. It was simple and crude. These text only/or very few bitmap graphics games are fun. Well, fun if you like to read and type alot. Besides it beats having to type the source code in first.

Now I find myself trying to create my own error pages styled after the z-Interpreter and games. I created a good one for error 404 “Not Found”. It can be viewed by typing an address for a page that doesn’t exist on my domain or a sample here.
