I think I could add some great entries to this website! When I started at Activision I went through a bunch of old Infocom (Zork/ Planetfall) docs including design docs for games they never made. It taught me a lot.

And then I have my own. I might even still have a cartridge for Halo for the Nintendo DS. It was really pretty nice, but Bungie was like: No way!

I would absolutely LOVE to see those design docs.

I've been playing Zork, Planetfall, Deadline, etc off and on since I was in elementary school. The only Infocom game I've ever successfully solved is Enchanter. My favorite games by far!

These issues of The New Zork Times are fun...
