Oh, very, very interesting - did you or anyone else you know contact him?

Re: third xanadu game
Thanks, terri, Gunness and Alex! (Alex, "perseverance" is a kind way of putting it.

Re: Games everybody should know
Acheton. It's almost as old as Adventure (and about as old as Zork); more importantly, it's the first of the Phoenix/TSAL games, and therefore, ultimately, led to the creation of Inform.
Hi, Richard. Could you expand a bit on why you say that the Phoenix/TSAL games led to the creation of Inform? I ...

Re: third xanadu game
Good news, Xanadu Adventure fans! I've been in touch with the author and the playtesters of this game, and although their memory of many of the details had understandably faded over time, they were still able to give me some useful hints -- e.g. the oyster that the bivalve tool opens is in the ...
