FastRobPlus Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I seem to remember that Infocom games can have their output to the screen or to a printer. Has anyone ever played an Infocom game using the printer as the output? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam242 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Yes... type SCRIPT to start a transcript on your printer, UNSCRIPT to stop. I don't know if this works on all Infocom games, but I used it on Hitchhiker's and Planetfall back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loooooong printout, on a noisy, slow dot matrix printer. I've still got it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
