Description from the packaging.

First of a spellbinding series in the ZORK tradition.

When the wicked power of the Warlock subjugates this and, his magic defenses will recognize all who have attained the Circle of Enchanters.

So, to a novice we speak-one yet unproven who has the heart to challenge and the skill to dare.

Sealed inside, you will find such wisdom and guidance as we can provide. Stealth, resourcefulness, and courage you must find within yourself. You are the sole hope of this land, young ENCHANTER.

The Secret of Infocom Games Revealed
To start with, they're 100% prose-all words, no pictures. But it's the way the prose is written that really gives our games a new dimension.

Our games involve you in the story more than other computer games do, because our program doesn't come between you and the story. The secret is our special "command parser," which in non-computerese means that interacting with an Infocom game is just about as easy as talking.

Thanks to our parser, our games don't include guessing games regarding which commands the computer will accept. The game recognizes over 600 words, including adjectives. It can respond to complex commands, including those which have more than one object. And should you hit upon a command it doesn't understand, it will tell you which word in the sentence is causing the confusion.

The secret is out: When you play an Infocom game, you're interacting with stories written by master storytellers instead of fighting with programs written by programmers.

Discover the magic of these other great Infocom adventures!
ZORK, the classic underground trilogy.
DEADLINE, the first great mystery of the computer age.
The WITNESS, a hard-boiled whodunit thriller of the Thirties.
STARCROSS, our astounding science fiction mindbender.
SUSPENDED, the cryogenic nightmare on the edge of the far future.
PLANETFALL, the spectacular comedy of the last frontier.
INFIDEL. the original action classic from Infocom Tales of Adventure.

Step up to Infocom. All words. No pictures. The secret reaches of your mind are beckoning. A whole new dimension is in there waiting for you.
