Posted September 16, 2010. I can't speak to which games required a Supercart, but I believe those later games were not full-on Infocom releases with boxes and packaging. After someone figured out how to port them, I believe Infocom gave Asgard Software the right to 'reprint' the games, with photocopied manuals, etc, and sell them for the TI 99/4A. Most Infocom games ranged from around 1500 to 2000, if I'm not mistaken. Some of the earlier games like Starcross had smaller vocabularies; perhaps 1200 words. I'm not aware of any game that has a vocabulary larger than 2000 words, though one might exist. From personal experience 2000 words seems to be a common limit. Best Infocom Games Recommendations by Xervosh (San Jose, Northern California) The ones I personally enjoyed, and on that admittedly flawed basis, extrapolate you might enjoy the most as well. Presented in chronological order of release. Zork I by Marc Blank and Dave Lebling (1980) Average member rating: (190 ratings) Xervosh says. The Lost Treasures of Infocom brings these classic works of interactive fiction to life for the first time on iPad, Phone & iPod Touch. This definitive collection of 27 adventure games spanning.
