Yesterday I unearthed some unopened Infocom games which will go on Ebay
tomorrow afternoon. What caught my eye was a blurb indicating that games
were available for the DECmate, DEC Rainbow, HP 150 and 110, and TI
Professional. I'm especially interested in the DECmate version. Does
anyone know anything more about these obscure ports of Infocom games?
Not specifically, but bear in mind that the DECmate II with the APU
was a fine CP/M machine. Since there was a CP/M version of many of the
Infocom games, it would just be a matter of slapping that onto an RX50.
