Other genres you might post a study for is maybe Horror. The
Lurking Horror is the only game I played in that direction apart
from The Horror of Rylvania, but I consider it one of the best
ones from Infocom. I would really appreciate more (good) games in
the genre, as most games seem to deal with Fantasy, which I hate!

Sciene Fiction is cool though, as long it's not another copy of
Planetfall "You are in a ship, come along planet/station/ship etc.
& discover some alien stuff". The idea is fascinating, but really
old I guess. If this idea is chosen nevertheless, the player has
to get the impression it's NOT another copy of something right
from the start. I never really played Deep Space Drifter just
because it reminded me way too much of Planetfall/Stationfall, too
much was copied I thought...
