Is this going to be an Infocom branded game?

Bob owns the classic Infocom trademark, after all, so it'd not be a stretch to say it'd be something for use with Thaumistry and potential future games...

[I Am Not Amused]

Unfortunately, the trademark is not owned by Bob :-(

How about Legend?

[I Am Not Amused]

I think Atari owns that.

I Applied for the inforcom trademark, but was blocked by another company. And the Legend name is owned by Atari. So I decided to just put this game out under my own name. --Bob

Can you tell us who owns "Infocom" - and why the hell they're not using it?!?

[I Am Not Amused]

Whoever is behind the infocom.xyz site claims to own it.

[Entropy]

Maybe make a new company called InfoLegend! Or some other combination...

Does Atari own all Legend Entertainment IP?

And they are selling old infocom titles without activision's permission

Is there a legal way to buy all (or all text-only) Infocom games?
If so, I guess the veterans won't profit anymore?

[Sslaxx]

Don't see the old Infocom titles on the site now, just a couple of platformers. Hopefully they made them. I'm not unhappy to see someone use the trademark for selling games, but not if they're just stealing from other people.

The only thing I found on Steam is this:

If there's a larger collection elsewhere (legal), I'd be happy to know.

Piko Interactive bought the Legend Entertainment IP and brand name not owned by other companies... https://www.gog.com/game/mission_critical
