Institute, The [NON-PC]
Lately I have been nostalgic for some of the first games i ever played. Its funny now to play Zork and whip thru it in 1 hour. I remember in 1982, it took me weeks to figure it out! My platform was an Apple 2c and my favorite games were The Institute and Secret Agent, both very basic graphic/text adventures that came out in 1981 or so. I was wondering if these ever made it thru to PC?

There were a few Infocom collections published at various times, in the past. At least one or two were on CD.

They might have been ported as modules for one of the text game interpreters. I'm actually pretty sure some of Infocom's games have been ported that way and the "normal" (ie executable) way, but can't tell if these particular two have or have not been, sorry.
