Fantastic

Someone has spent a great deal of time bringing back these classics. Well done!

YES!

Ok, so Im young and Ive always wanted to play these games! Ive mostly wanted to play ZORK. And now look, theyre right here in front of me! Thank you devs who made this for mobile devices! Anyone who wants to play text based games get this app!

Amazing

$10 is a steal for all of theses games and extras. Just picked it up some Im hope my external keyboard works. I gave it 4 stars for the missing titles. Maybe that will be added in future updates or a "Part 2" game. Nice job Activision and Infocom.

Genius-headed idea!

Thanks, Activision! Im glad theres a way to get these complete games at a very reasonable price. Im happy to pay for them now that theyre available, versus finding them elsewhere. You can unlock all the games, InvisiClues, and complete maps for less than one of these wouldve cost back in the 80s. Im going to stop being productive at work and focus on rebuilding my childhood!

Love em all

Ive see these games on EBay for over $100 (and in old computer formats). Getting all of these for 10 bucks is a steal. Especially for us pioneers who go all the way back to Commodore 64 days. I couldnt be happier.

Fun flashback to my youth, but...

Unable to access full game library on iPad, but recognizes that I had purchased full game library and able to play on my iPod Touch. Please fix.

Greatest App since Frotz

Code Mystics are my heroes. 3D images of the feelies is inspired. With all my heart, thanks.

Love it! One of best games for chilling out!

AWESOME!

This is an excellent excellent package. — for any of you that were actually “gaming” in the 70’s and 80’s … this was it for us. And this package brings back lots of great memories. The added box and in-package goodies that they’ve included in each package is perfect. It’s like buying the original boxes all over again. If any of you were born in the 90’s and above, check this game style out. It’s like interacting with your favorite book. I love this. Thanks for bringing this to my iPad

Astounding

Excellent way to provide easy access to an old, different format of gaming.

Great collection, if incomplete!

Love to see all of these old games in one place. Do wish we could print out (via pdf files?) some of the maps and feelies. It would be much easier to glance at a hardcopy than the on-screen version. I love how the Invisiclues are handled! Even better than the original, which faded after a while.

I solved the Babel Fish problem

Love it, I have been waiting for so long for my beautiful Infocom games to return. I know there are licensing issues around hitch hikers guide and maybe bureaucracy but why isnt Nord and Bert Couldnt Make Head or Tail of it in here?

Pocket fun from the 80s!

Definitely buy the maps package, its hard to make a map yourself when youre wandering around the real world on your phone!

a great find, but needs accessibility features

I remember playing these games back in the days when the PC and Amiga were new. I like that this app allows one to explore the included goodies like the manuals, artwork, fee lies, and maps which actually are part of the games. My only complaint is that blind users can not play, and enjoy this app, even when iOS accessibility features are turned on. This app needs text to speech. Looking forward to the next volume.

Looks great

I havent played this game yet but it looks super cool I also like how u put zork in the terminal on black ops 1 cool stuff

Wonderful to have them again. Needs margins.

It’s great to be able to play these again on my iPad. The one thing I’d request is that the text area be inset slightly from the edge of the screen. Oh, and it’d be great if there were a Mac OS X version, too.

Missing some important things!

I have been truly enjoying this collection, though incomplete, but have been frustrated at something: while playing "Wishbringer" I noticed that key elements are missing, namely the "mysterious envelope" and "postal map" necessary to view to see the game. I dont know about the other games but thankfully other websites offer these elements.

Thanks!!!

Incredible to find Infocom games for the iPad, and a bargain for the price. I remember paying $80 for one floppy disk when Zork first came out. I love the games, I just wish I had known about the $9.99 package before buying the Zork set. The games allow for so much more use of the imagination and thinking processes. Thanks again.

Great! Great! Great!

I have all the Infocom titles from the past and cannot use them with my 64 bit computer. It took me a grand total of about 10 seconds to buy these Lost Treasures. No issues and now I can enjoy them all again on my iPad Aire. Great job of converting them.

Fantastic

Theyre just like I remembered them 25 years ago! And, still fun to play!
