Touch Arcade: The first time Lost Treasures of Infocom [Free] hit the scene it was 1991. The treasures weren't actually all that lost at the time —all the games had been published in the '80s and Activision had only dissolved Infocom two years earlier. Now, over twenty years on, it seems a bit more reasonable to call them lost.
148apps: Gamers from the 1980s will love this collection of some of the best text adventures of the decade.
Pocket Gamer: Behold the mighty text adventure - an ageing relic of gaming past, when story reigned supreme and fancy graphics, well, not so much. Sadly, its popularity was brief.
So rapid were developments in the medium that Infocom - arguably the biggest name in text adventures, and the focus of this collection - lasted a mere five years before fancy visuals consigned the company to history.
