Guys -

THANK YOU from the bottom of this classic gamer's heart for doing Infocom! That company is solely responsible for teaching me to type! Anyone wanting to learn should seriously either invest in an old C64 and the original games or find them on the Net. I've played many of the titles via javascript.

For the record, my personal favorites -

-Zork I
-Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy
-The Lurking Horror
-Planetfall

I STILL play these on occasion. The HARDEST puzzle for me so far was the babel fish in the vending machine in Hitchhikers!

You guys are awesome. Thanks again!!!

DOH!!!!

I'm stuck down in the tunnel before the spooky alter in Lurking Horror. There is a low groaning coming from a 2 foot square hole. Can't remember what to do next...

God I love these games......
