INFOCOM, INC.
Infocom was a leading manufacturer of magic scrolls and potions in 957
GUE. One of their most popular products was the "Home Sorceror's How-To
Library", Volume One of which was the "Build-Your-Own Medieval Village"
set complete with Enchanter's Hall. This set was advertised in the
Popular Enchanting magazine and reputed to "simplify even the most
complex problems."
In
the tenth century, recent improvements in lighting technology
reduced the number of Infoworkers eaten by grues. Thus Infocom required
more spacious caverns to accommodate its growing staff. A new cavern
was founded sometime after 948 GUE in the Dungeon of Zork near a large
number of
oddly-angled rooms. The offices of the chairman, as well as the
president (which in those days was Troll Berez) were rumored to
have been designed by Lord Dimwit
the Excessive.
The Infocom entry in the 882 edition of the
Encyclopedia Frobozzica simply read, "There are some things that
man was not meant to know."
