Have been gaming since the mid 80's and text adventures were a main feature. Years later and I owned Lost Treasures 1 and 2 then the Masterpieces CD. I topped that with IUB.zip - pretty much everything Infocom.

Jason Scott then produced Get Lamp - I have a coin - which brought so much of that era together.

I view text adventures, be they Infocom, Level 9 or others, as an inspiration to others. A re-release could only be a good thing.

Cool. Curious about IUB.zip. Can you share more details when to find it.

Text adventures are awesome. I'm sad that I missed out on that era. What do you think about all the modern text adventure games built on stuff like Inform7?

Some of them are very good, some are garbage (to be kind). As you would expect from amateur productions. Inform7 is a reasonably good system/engine and can produce good games, the only question is the quality of the authors which varies.
