InfocomBot (posted 25 March 2004)" ?>

Check it out.

"If you have an AOL Instant Messenger account, send an IM to InfocomBot, InfocomBot2, or InfocomBot3. I set up an automated bot to play classic Infocom text adventure games from your favorite IM client, T-Mobile Sidekick, or any other device that connects to AIM. It supports "save" and "restore" commands, so you don't need to lose your place."

bad timing. it keeps saying 'not available' or something similar when i talk to contact one of the bots.
