Infocom, Inc.

Trivia:

Infocom wrote their adventure games in a script known as Z-code. The Z-code was written for a virtual machine that was written for each hardware platform, thus reducing the development of the game to one virtual platform.

A decade later, interpreters for the Z-code have been developed for Palm, Pocket PCs, Windows, and even Gameboy Advance. Its commonly refered to as a Frotz application, named after a character in Zork.
