Fooblitzky

DOS - 1986
Also available on: Apple II - Atari 8-bit

A brief but notable foray into the board game market by the masters of interactive fiction, Fooblitzsky is a novel attempt to use the PC to assist in playing a board game (e.g. roll a die) to make it more fun. Four players compete (as dogs-- no, really) to collect the right four objects before each other.

A cool idea, but the awful 2-color graphics will convince you that this should be sold only as a board game-- and not only a good one at that.

Infocom also created a database package call Cornerstone, which did not sell as well as they had wished.

If I'm not mistaken I believe this was Infocom's only non-adventure title. If not, it's certainly one of the few.
