Infocom did better with its non-text games ("The Crescent Hawks
Revenge", "Mines of Titan") but it was obviously genres they were not

(Infocom was betting big on creating a relational database) and their
ongoing financial issues (because people didn't want to buy games
without pretty graphics) pretty much sealed their fate.
Weren't those already done when they were basically bought amd supplanted by Activision in all but name?
