Infocom Games
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.
