[Peter N Caress]

I'd appreciate it if someone who happens to know could post the
offical difficulty levels of the games in The Lost Treasures of
Infocom, both volumes. Thanks!

Well, here's the difficulty levels as shown on a little infocom poster.

Intro: wishbringer, seastalker
Standard: witness, zork I, enchanter, HHGTG, planetfall, cutthroats
Advanced: suspect, zork II & III, sorceror, Mind forever Voyaging, infidel
Expert: deadline, spellbreaker, starcross, suspended

Dunno about any of the others.

I *think* that's accurate.

Hey! They didn't include Shogun, Journey, Arthur, Fooblitzky, Quarterstaff,
or Cornerstone!

(In their defence, Foobiltzky was an electronic board game, Quarterstaff
was only released for the Mac (which was a pity), and Cornerstone was a
database. But if they stuck Zork Zero in, they should have stuck the other
three graphics games (Shogun, Journey, and Arthur) as well. *grumble* And
I really wanted to play Journey, too; I played it at a convention and solved
about 3/4ths of it, and I want to do the rest.)
