It was a company that made classic all text (imagine that) adventure games from the 1980s. You "moved" around the environment by entering text commands and you could communicate with other characters (primitive artificial intelligence). I sometimes wish someone would come out with something like these again. You used your imagination; similar to reading a book. No need for 3d graphics.

You have to be one of the old original eggheads. Way back before the term was even coined. Before graphics text games, Infocom published purely text based adventure games. Somewhat similar to text based blogging. The best part of being in those stories is that you always knew you were in a fantasy land. Unfortunately, we do not have that comfort here.
