Suspended Joins Interlogic Line
Infocom has announced Suspended, the sixth game in the Interlogic product line. Suspended joins such adventure games as Deadline, Starcross, and the Zork trilogy. Interlogic games are highly interactive and feature a programming language that permits complete sentence communication between player and computer. The games run on virtually any computer, including DEC Rainbow, TI Professional Computers, Osborne 1, NEC APC. and 8-inch CP/M-based systems.
In Suspended, you and your six robot assistants must rescue the population of a planet deep in outer space. While in a limited state of cryogenic suspension, you must repair damage on the planet with your robots. The robots, which can act for you independently of one another, can be sent to different locations and make subsequent moves. Suspended is the first Interlogic game to have a functional game board with movable pieces. Estimated playing time is 30 hours.
Suspended, which was released early last month, is the brainchild of Michael Berlyn. It costs $49.95 and is marketed through software distributors, major retail stores, and personal computer manufacturers. Infocom Inc. has its headquarters at 55 Wheeler St., Cambridge, MA 02138, (617) 492-1031.
