    Default Infocom source uploaded to githup

    The repository and the Twitter announcement thereof . Infocom's Zork and Enchanter series were a significant part of my childhood, I'll be delighted to dig into their source. Even if it DOES require learning a different programming language.

    Respectfully,

    With the age of those games, I'd expect some gnarly procedural code, probably in C or FORTRAN. Or (gulp) COBOL.

    Edit: even worse. It's in a home-brewed version of MDL, which is a dialect of LISP. Fun.
