Infocom is no more, but Activision has rights to many of their old
adventures.  Return to Zork has just been released under the Infocom name,
but it has little to do with the Zork that the world knows.  It's a full, no
typing, multi-media adventure with digitized speech and video.  The screen
shots I have seen look amazing, but I bet it's not nearly as fun as the old
text games.

For those into adventure games, you might want to join up with The Adventure
Survivors - they have maps, walk throughs, tips, cheats, etc., for almost
all the classic CoCo adventure games.  They have a newsletter full of great
information, and they even sell some of the old games.

And in other news ... the new Beavis & Butt-head album came out Tuesday.
