Selection of Games

Below is a selection of games that were chosen to represent the games for a specific category (story file version, language, etc.), following a link will start an applet with that specific game. Please note note that at least a Java Runtime System 5 is needed to run the applet. The jar file on this web site is signed in order to enable saving to the user file system, so there will a need to confirm the certificate.

Note that except for the Zork trilogy, all games published by Infocom are still under copyright, which is owned by Activision at the moment.
