It's usually help or hints, or there are sometimes speciic hints files with
the games the ways h2g2 had.

how do you access the hints? I've never heard of them with an infocom
game, besides the invisiclues on sites. I know some text adventures allow
hint clues in the games, such as the bunnicula game.

Ah kieth, obviously the site is no longer up.
Still, as I said, most infocom games include the invisiclues as part of
their hints now (h2g2 certainly does for instance).
All the best,
Dark.

I tried to go to this site and got a page saying something about being
unable to open that page.

Actually tom, most versions of the infocom software usually hve the
invisiclue hints built into them, and even those that don't the hints
can be found on http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~pete/Infocom/Invisiclues/
However, I really dislike a game where the choice is look at hints or
remain stuck forever just because the author employed some ridiculous
leap of logic that nobody in their right mind would guess.
Much as I admire Douglas adams humour and his writing style, his
convoluted puzzles are something I can do without, and with that bloody
babel fish I tried for 20 minutes then just used the dam hints, sinse I
was more interested in seeing the rest of the story than sitting there
trying to work out what ridiculous action I was supposed to perform
next.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
