This week, Tara McGrew released an open-source interpreter for Infocom's Cornerstone VM.
(Yes, on April Fool's Day, but the interpreter *works*. Correct joke management.)
I have therefore gone looking for Cornerstone “game files" and added them to my Infocom Catalog page. You can run Cornerstone 5.1 or 5.20 now. To some extent. (Bugs remain.)
