Hi folks! What with my husband playing 20+ games now that the Lost Treasures of Infocom has been released, I am heartsick for Plundered Heart, an Infocom game I played on my old C64. I would like to get me hands on the game for my Amiga. It must be an original, of course, and include documentation. If you have Plundered Heart collecting dust on your computer shelf, why not give it to someone who would appreciate it and make a little money on the side, too? 🙂 Please send me email if interested! Thanks! –Beth

It's true. I held a copy of it in my hands yesterday at the local software store. Steve

What kind of price did you see?

I *think* it was about 60 bucks….quite a good deal, considering the amount of software you get. I bet it would take a LOOONG time to finish all those games! Steve

Charles – Yes, The Lost Treasures of Infocom includes about 20 of the top Infocom games for about $60. It includes full intructions books and all the info from the hint books and the maps for the games, too. Unfortunately, it doesn't include the fun trinkets you'd get with each game. Sadly, I've only seen the collection for IBM and Mac – I haven't seen it for Amiga. –Beth

Beth, My dealer has the Amiga version in stock. If you look around, you'll find it. -sja

Steve, even better!!! The Amiga version! I didn't think there would _be_ one. Now, of course, comes the big question… which version do I buy? If I buy the Amiga version, I'll never get around to it. With multitasking, I'm always busy doing something while my Amiga works on something else — e.g. while it's raytracing, I'll read the latest CompuServe messages. If I buy the IBM version, I can play at the office — but then I'll start playing too much and get fired. Decisions, decisions… Blaq!

What decision? Get fired. Then you'll have more time for ray-tracing AND playing…. ofcourse then you wouldn't have the work PC to use, so be sure to buy BOTH versions 🙂 Michael ….from the north coast

Beth, thank you for the information! Even though I'm an avid computer magazine reader, it could've been months before I stubmled onto a mention of The Lost Treasures Of Infocom, if ever. I'll give EA a call, just to check that they haven't produced an Amiga version, and rush out and buy the PC version. Thanks again. Blaq!

Lost Treasures of Infocom retails at 69.95…and <IS> out for the Amiga. 20 games included, including all the Zorks, Enchanter series, several of the mysteries, *HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE*, and more… It's 3000 and 2.04 compatible, and multi-tasks on the Workbench. It waits for you to type…these <ARE> multi-tasking games. Just go away and do something else when you get stuck! I'm REALLY impressed that they got this package RIGHT. tmm/Richard Cunningham
