[1985] Micro Live - Fred Harris goes behind the scenes at Boston software company Infocom. The developer has enjoyed great success with its line of text adventure games - the likes of Zork, Planetfall, Enchanter, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - which eschew graphics in favour of a simple text display, and arcade gameplay in favour of what the company calls 'interactive fiction'.

This screenshot from a 1986 episode of the show is amusing.
