Re: The OTHER SCOTT ADAMS



The biggest thing that happened to him was the double-whammy of Infocom and
OnLine Systems, I think.

Seriously, his games were very crude by any except by 1980 standards. There
are probably 50 Eamon games that are better than anything Adventure
International ever did.

But that wasn't you question, was it? <g> I do not know what became of him.
