To further the cause of Infocom nostalgia, I dug out my old copies of ANALOG magazine, and searched them for Infocom advertisements. I've decided to scan them in and upload them for everyone else to get nostalgic over, too. Here is the first one. It comes from ANALOG magazine, issue 11, April/May 1983. The advert features a brain, glowing from within, captioned "We stick our graphics where the sun don't shine." It also features small pictures of the original packages for Zork III, Deadline (the folder), Starcross (the flying saucer) and Suspended (the plastic mask with the eyes). All the images here have been gamma-corrected for a normal PC monitor with a display gamma of around 2.2. I can't tell whether the gamma values in the PNG files are correct, or even present; sorry. These image files are all identical in terms of the image that they contain. The differences are in format and size; format also influences resolution and colour depth. Please fetch the smallest version you can. I've provided "thumbnails"; they are really fairly large compared with normal thumbnails, but are small compared with the full-sized version and should give a good idea of what you're going to download. The thumbnails are: ad1-thumbnail.jpeg 25Kb 450x300 24-bit JPEG "thumbnail" at 75% quality. (Well, it is smaller than the big version below!) ad1-thumbnail.png 69Kb 450x300 256-colour PNG thumbnail. (Hint: get the JPEG version if you can use it!) ad1-thumbnail.gif 76Kb 450x300 256-colour GIF thumbnail, for those who can't parse either JPEG or PNG yet. The full-sized versions are: ad1.jpeg 231Kb 1638x1095 24-bit full-sized JPEG at 75% quality. In this version, it's quite easy to read all the text. ad1.png 769Kb 1638x1095 256-colour full-sized PNG. Very large. Do not pull this file if you can use the JPEG instead; they are pretty much indistinguishable in terms of quality (at least on my screen they are). ad1.gif 868Kb 1638x1095 256-colour full-sized GIF. This should be considered a last resort. Have fun! Charles Briscoe-Smith 6th July 1996
