That’s Right!!
CORNERSTONE!!!
Somebody sent me a copy of it about 10 years ago…bad bad idea….that was the beginning of the end…many of the original designers started leaving in 86., then Medagenic bought them and used them as a label for things like Battletech, and Mines Of Titan…
Shame though, since Zork Zero and Journey (two of the last original games they made) were brilliantly written by Meretzky and Blank, resprectively. Meretzky, did some work for Legend and Activision, before starting his own company, and Blank started his own software company as well.
I heard somewhere that Zork Zero was the first game to incorporate VGA graphics (although there’s only 10 or so pictures and they are all when you read the encyclopedia).
