A Mind Forever Voyaging	Infocom	1986	"If you can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not..." -Shakespeare IT'S 2031. The world is on the brink of chaos. In the United States of North America, spiraling crime and unemployment rates, decayed school systems and massive government regulations have led to a lazy, contentious society. To reverse this critical situation, government and industry leaders have developed a Plan combining the economic freedom and strong moral values of the 1950's with the technological advancements of the 21st century. Will the Plan ensure peace and prosperity? Or will it set the earth on a suicide course to destruction? As the world's first conscious, intelligent computer, only you can visit places that have never been seen before. Only you can view the future. And only you know what must be done to save humanity. A major departure for Infocom, A Mind Forever Voyaging is reminiscent of such classic works of science fiction as Brave New World and 1984. You'll spend less time solving puzzles, as you explore realistic worlds of the future.* [4]*Difficulty Level: \| Junior \| Introductory \| Standard \|[b]>>ADVANCED<<[/b]\| Expert \| [Zerothis]	Amiga

Arthur: The Quest for Excalibur	Infocom	1989	"Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone, is rightwise king born of all England." In the days before Camelot, when magic and evil rule England, a sword sheathed in stone appears in a quiet churchyard. Engraved upon it are the words which form your destiny. For you are Arthur, the son and true heir of the High King, Uther Pendragon. But there is more to asserting your claim than wresting free the sword. The sword in the stone disappears - stolen by the evil King Lot. To win it back, you must develop the kingly qualities of wisdom, chivalry, and experience, qualities that will also prove you worthy of the throne. And you must do it all within three days, or Lot will usurp your legacy. You are assisted by Merlin the Enchanter, who grants you the power to transform yourself into a variety of animals. Now you can explore the kingdom as no one has before: from the sky, from rivers and lakes, from on - and under - the earth. How you use this power, and how you solve the myriad puzzles that confront you, will determine your success in your quest. Merlin's crystal ball reveals helpful hints. The undo command lets you rescind even the most foolhardy of decisions. Optional on-screen mapping gives your quest direction. A medieval Book of Hours has been magically cast into each and every Arthur package, along with the game disk and complete instructions. Now prepare to claim your birthright as king born of all England. It's your chance to live the legend.* [52]* [69]* [24]* [76]* [2]* [49]* [7]* [23]* [33]* [85]* [62]* [17]* [83]* [22]* [1]*Difficulty Level: \| Junior \| Introductory \|[b]>>STANDARD<<[/b]\| Advanced \| Expert \| [Zerothis]	Amiga

Bureaucracy	Infocom	1987	A hilarious interactive fiction by Douglas Adams (Author of The Hichhicker's Guide to the Galaxy series of books) based on a real incident in Adam's life triggered by bank's bureaucracy. As the bank was featured in this game, they eventually decided to issue a written apology to Douglas Adams, but sent it to his old address. The entire game experience does not deviate from the theme of bureaucracy. This includes the installation process, feelies, and packaging which denotes the probable lack of the buyer's compliance with the licensing agreement. Also in on the packaging are customer reviews complaining about the game's quirky compatibility with ProDOS, error ridden feelies, unrelated instruction manual, false in-game hints, added time and difficulty of getting the game through customs outside of the USA, errors in printing, difficulty in opening the packaging, inability to register the product which actually required additional payment, and how the game doesn't make any sense. All complaints are true. The game notably does not prominently post a difficulty level; see the spoiler below.[spoiler=show difficulty;hide difficulty]Difficulty Level: \| Junior \| Introductory \| Standard \|[b]>>ADVANCED<<[/b]\| Expert \|[/spoiler] [zerothis]	Amiga
