Infocom is behind a whole list of beloved text adventure classics, including Zork, A Mind Forever Voyaging, and the fiendishly difficult Hitchhiker's Guide game. Wired has just announced that Infocom co-founders and Zork co-creators Marc Blank and Dave Lebling will be receiving the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences’ Pioneer Award for their work in games, and interviewed Lebling and another Infocom designer.
