The premise, in the publisher's words

"Welcome to the world of interactive fiction. The story is yours to unravel. Every inquiry elicits response. Your every command evokes an action... or perhaps inaction... which may intrigue you further. It's a world of suspense requiring word for word interpretation of a puzzling story only your imagination can solve. A world where curiosity could be the only thing to keep you alive. And knowing could 'literally' kill you." This is a collection of several Infocom interactive fiction games, including: Border Zone, Cutthroats, Infidel, Planetfall, Plundered Hearts, Trinity, and Zork III.
