I have to chime in on this one too. I've played it for at least 3

them :) Though I find myself playing the C64 version (emulated) these

Right now Ken Love is the closest thing to an Infocom historian at
Activision, and assuming he's aware of the date he's probably the only one
there who cares. More likely
The hardcore Infocollectors should know ;)

Well, I know that Activision is planning yet another Infocom
compilation. Maybe they'll make it the 25th anniversary edition.
Though I'm sure we won't be seeing any festivities on Activision's
compound ;)

Neat coincidence!
Maybe, John, it is your path of destiny : You will bring us a glorious

I can see a Quake under the Infocom label:

I loved Montezuma's revenge also...I had a friend who had it for his C64, and I used
to go over there just so I could play the game for hours at a time. : )

More likely, the Infocom alumnae will hold an event of their own, a la the reunion in Cambridge five years ago.

However I believe June 22, 1979 was the date Infocom was formed.
Correct. Is Activision planning any sort of special celebration?

Are these particularly rare? I wouldn't imagine this fetching a lot, but then
again I'm not an Origin devotee so I wouldn't know. I bought the Rocket Ranger
comic book (an item in a similar vein) for $2, for example...
