also on GOG, DRM-free:

Not just those; Return to Zork, Zork Grand Inquisitor, and Zork Nemesis are there too.

(Zork Nemesis is pretty unlike other Zork games.)

It's also DRM-free on my Commodore 64.

They must barely make any money from them. When I read the title of this article, I thought "Gosh, I have a plea too... Can they free the Infocom games?" - and the article was exactly about that. We've been waiting for over a decade... Microsoft, if you are reading this... Pretty please? It would also send a good message to regulators that something good came out of this.

It's pretty hard to play, unfortunately. It runs in a strange dos box and the "terminal" is pretty ugly to deal with.

Get this: https://davidgriffith.gitlab.io/frotz/ and use the datafiles from the DOS version in DOSBox.

They could still do this after a CC licensing, too. The press would probably give them a sales boost. :)
