THAT SITE OMITS PACKAGES RELEASED BEFORE THE INFOCOM BRAND!!!?
The original Zork was NOT released by infocom, and my family bought it.
The original Zork was published by Personal Software.
PROOF THAT SITE LIED!
https://zork.fandom.com/wiki/Zork_Origins
Personal Software published what would become the first part of the trilogy under the name Zork when it was first released in 1980, but Infocom later handled the distribution of that game
PERSONAL SOFTWARE did the first packaging for Zork NOT goddamned revisionist liar Infocom.
Even one or two good long documentaries on Zork omit that fact and use these fake revisionist sites. I think maybe even GET LAMP did.
GET LAMP was a decent documentary describing hubris of infocom thinking text games would last 100 years and be a new art form and that no one wants color graphics adventures.
The site is called Infocom Gallery.
The Infocom guys used Personal Software as their first publisher and marketed it for PDP-11 computers and later TRS-80s but they were not happy with the deal so they started publishing and selling Zork themselves in 1981 but had formed Infocom in 1979. Did they say otherwise? Why would they mention two rare versions that weren't published by Infocom? I really don't know what you are trying to say here other them claiming the site lied which is not in fact true.
THE SITE LIED because it is NOT talking about a hit NON-RARE famous game for Apple 2 called "Zork".
Zork for apple 2 was published by Personal Software , not Infocom.
WRONG
Even YOU fell for the revisionist lies.
If you had a copy of Zork for Apple 2, you would see readily how wrong you are by looking at the packaging and DISK LABEL.
... EVENTUALLY.... eventually ....the Apple 2 version became published by Infocom.
The site exists to lie and spread misinformation on origin of Zork for personal computers.
