What Hacker News says

Note that the "Historical Source" repo has LOTS of stuff - most (all?) Infocom titles, Leisure Suit Larry, Deluxe Paint, Descent, Hexen, several MUDs, and tons of games I've never heard of. (Many of the non-Infocom titles are forks from other sources, so I guess it's more of a collected list, not a single huge source dump.) There's even unfinished/unreleased source for an Infocom Hitchhiker's Guide sequel. Peeking inside: <OBJECT ZAPHOD (LOC RAMP) (DESC "Zaphod Beeblebrox") (TEXT "Zaphod looks completely normal, except for his two heads.") Repo list: https://github.com/historicalsource?tab=repositories Zaphod source: https://github.com/historicalsource/restaurant/blob/master/p...
