Index: if-archive/infocom/media/blorb

This directory contains versions of the sound and graphics files released as part of several Infocom games, repackaged in the Blorb format.

(These blorb files do not include the story files themselves; you'll have to find those elsewhere, and specify both to an interpreter which supports this, such as Frotz.)
