Infocom Game Information
Paul D. Smith
paul_smith@dg.com
The table below contains all Infocom games and all known information
about each game and each revision. All the information below was con-
tributed by Paul David Doherty <d.doherty@bamp.berlinet.in-berlin.de>,
except most of the product codes and difficulty ratings and all the
information on LTOI II for the IBM-PC, which were contributed by
Daniel Sharpe <dpsharpe@eos.ncsu.edu>, and the information on LTOI I &
II for the Macintosh, which was contributed by me :-).
The columns in the table and their meanings are as follows:
Game Title
Specifies the title of the game. Games are listed in alphabeti-
cal order.
Aut
(Author) Lists the initials of the author(s) of the game. Au-
thors are listed below, along with what they were known to be do-
ing in March, 1992:

DL
(Difficulty Level): Many of the Infocom games, especially the
earlier ones, were rated with a difficulty level. The levels are
(in increasing order of difficulty):
I Introductory
S Standard
A Advanced
E Expert
- None Given
Note that there are widely differing opinions as to the accuracy
of these ratings, especially between E (Expert) and A (Advanced).
Prodct
(Product Code): The product codes for the games are given in
this column. They denote the type of the game and the number in
that type: the types are:
CS Immortal Legends (designed by Challenge, Inc.)
IA Interactive (Tales of) Adventure
IC Interactive Comedy
IE Interactive Espionage
IH Interactive Horror
IJ Interactive Journey (?)
IK Interactive Junior-level (Kids?)
IL Interactive Living Literature (Legend?)
IM Interactive Mystery
IR Interactive Romance
IS Interactive Science Fiction
IZ Interactive Fantasy (Zork Series)
Rel Num
(Release Number): The release number of the game. All games with
the same release number are compatible in that saved files from
one release number can be played by other versions of that game
with the same release number.
Serial Number
The serial number of the game: note the serial number is actually
the date the version was released, in YYMMDD format. Some games
have more than one serial number for the same release number;
this means that some minor changes were made and the game was re-
released, but that the two versions are compatible (see above).
Z-Code Version
Specifies which version of ZIL (Zork Interpreted Language) the
game is written in. The versions are as follows:
3 Standard Series
4 Plus Series
5 Solid Gold Interactive Fiction
6 Graphic Interactive Fiction
If the version is postfixed with (snd) it means that version of
that game supports sound.
LTOI Num.
The Lost Treasures of Infocom package in which the game was re-
released (if any). Currently there are two packages: I and II.
They have both been released for the IBM PC, Macintosh, and Amiga
computer systems. The table contains information for all except
the Amiga version of LTOI II, since I haven't received info from
anyone who has it yet. Parenthesized postfixes specify which
version of a game is included in the package for the machine:
a Amiga
m Macintosh
p IBM PC
No postfix means the same version is available for all three sys-
tems.
PI?
If the game is playable with version 3 of the portable Infocom
datafile interpreter then this column contains a ``Y''.
