There aren’t more photos than these that are worth seeing, but I did scan over 300 pages of documents. Some I wouldn’t feel comfortable posting online at this juncture. Others I likely will.

The foam letters were used for the cover of “Zork Zero”. They’re one of a kind.

Are there more photos we can be linked to or maybe sent our way??

I really like what appears to be a foam “ZORK” lettering. Was it manufactured as giveaway back in the day??

Awesome. There is a real need to preserve everything like the stuff you saw Jason, absolutely *amazing* collection by the look of the pictures.

Hopefully in the near future we’ll get everyone organised enough to be able to archive people’s old stuff if they want it to be, which was a major sticking point this year at the preservation roundtable. You’ve probably got a better collection then most archives (and Steve obviously has!)

What percentage of his files did you scan, and will this be made available as part of textfiles.com?

One of my more cherished possessions is a near-mint copy of Deadline.

I am relieved.

On my last purge of regrets (I’m going to regret it if I throw this away. No I’m not. Yes I am. No I AM NOT.) I threw away the last bit of ephemera from this era. Some floppies and box covers and booklets from these games. I thought about sending them to you, but now I don’t regret that either.
