And so I would have > to say that they are not worth the money. That's just the point!! Infocom's adventures DON'T have graphics. You have hit upon the essential difference between comic books, which have all those pretty pictures, and serious literature, which doesn't. The magic of Infocom games is that they draw you in and make you IMAGINE a scene rather than feeding it to you like so much pablum in a spoon. LONG LIVE INFOCOM !!!
