InfoCom in fact *will* be releasing those titles for the ST but
as with most game companies they are releasing the games in the
big money IBM market first - wait a year and they will be out for
the ST.  When InfoCom dropped the text games for the ST they commented
that their policy would be to hold off on new ST games until they
could fully utilize the ST's graphic power.  Also remember that a
computer is not measured by games!  If you want to play games
get a Nintendo (opps - I mean Atari <grin>.)  The past few months
we have seen PageSTream, SuperBase Professional, DynaCadd, and
other great programs that either match or FAR outclass anything on
any MS-DOS machine.  Atari is now pumping 50-75,000 Megas a MONTH!!
Those machines are going somewhere.  Atari UK has shown and may
have released the laptop ST already, Atari Canada has been selling
PC clones for months and West Germany has shown the 030 box and the EST.
Things are finally getting *better* not worse! Hang in there!
