Infocom has entered the chat Infocom games were a product of the times. A product of technical capabilities and sleight of hand. I always say the great thing about infocom games was the illusion that anything was possible. The solution could be anything you could think of. Mostly they were like …

And none of the "optimizations" you have been insisting on would be of any benefit in my case. If anything, I would be running at speeds worse than a Cyrix 6x86. How do you know this? Have you tried what I suggested? Have you done any benchmarks? - NOOOOO!!! Most of those who built MVP3 use …
