 From an anonymous source close to the company, I've found myself in 
possession of the "Infocom Drive" — a complete backup of Infocom's 
shared network drive from 1989. This is one of the most amazing archives 
I've ever seen, a treasure chest documenting the rise and fall of the 
legendary interactive fiction game company. Among the assets included: 
design documents, email archives, employee phone numbers, sales figures, 
internal meeting notes, corporate newsletters, and the source code and 
game files for every released /and unreleased/ game Infocom made.

For obvious reasons, I can't share the whole Infocom Drive. But I /have 
to/ share some of the best parts. It's just /too good/.

There are downloads of the Milliways game at the bottom of the web page, 
right before the comments. You'll need a Z-Machine interpreter to play 
them, as usual.
