Couple minutes ago I perused the Infocom folder on America Online and
noticed a couple posts regarding the various difficulty levels for
all 36 Infocom games. Anyway, I pulled this off AOL and was wondering
if it might not be a good thing to be included in the FAQ:

JUNIOR or INTRODUCTORY level:
  Moonmist
  Seastalker
  Wishbringer
 
STANDARD level:
  Ballyhoo
  Cutthroats
  Enchanter
  Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
  Leather Goddesses of Phobos
  Planetfall
  Trinity
  The Witness
  Zork I
 
ADVANCED level:
  A Mind Forever Voyaging
  Infidel 		<------	[Is this really considered *ADVANCED*? Yikes!]
  Sorcerer
  Suspect
  Zork II
  Zork III
 
EXPERT level:
  Deadline
  Spellbreaker
  Starcross
  Suspended
 
The following games were not given a specific difficulty level:
  Arthur
  Beyond Zork
  Border Zone
  Bureaucracy
  Hollywood Hijinx
  Journey
  The Lurking Horror
  Nord & Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It
  Plundered Hearts
  Quarterstaff
  Sherlock
  Shogun
  Stationfall
  Zork Zero



Does anybody have any corrections or additions? If so, I'd like to know. 
As I say, I think this is a good addition for the FAQ -- especially since
Activision's package gives no indication of the levels.


Also: does anyone have either Journey or Shogun for the Macintosh? I have
Quarterstaff (it's pretty nifty, actually) and wouldn't mind trading. Yes,
my copy is legit -- so please, no flames. Anyway, please e-mail if you're
intersting in swapping/selling.


Thanks,
Chris
