Titles and authors

Interactive fiction

Since Infocom's titles used their cross-platform Z-machine, they released their games for nearly every home computer platform available, so listing them here would be redundant. In general, they released all their games for Apple II, Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64, DOS and Macintosh. When newer platforms appeared, such as the Amiga and Atari ST, they would release their successful older titles for them as well as their newer ones moving forward. When older platforms declined in popularity, such as the TRS-80, they would stop publishing their games for them.
