Yep, same company. I think it was InfoCom or something. A couple of years ago I remember seeing boxed sets of them for about $30, title "The Lost...of Infocom".

>Those type of games would be cool to do in fox. A table of possible commands, responses, actions... Could be cool. Probably too boring for most these days though.

They created a very sophiscated parser for the time. Remember the limitations too. I ran mine on an Atari 800XL with 64K of RAM.

>Pretty much any game that doesn't involve shooting could be done in fox (Taipai, Klotski, Tetravex). Card games could work well.
