Simply not true - I provided the link to the Mac advert in post #69.

A mail-order game (or any game stocked on a computer store shelf, for that matter) doesn't need to sell copies before being deemed "released". As soon as the publisher has copies ready to sell, then that's when the game has been officially released (NOT when the first copy sells!).
It's become clear that you won't acknowledge any information provided that doesn't suit your opinions and beliefs, and that anyone that provides such information is a "liar" as far as you're concerned. Just wait for my next post.....it's going to be a biggie!

I would envision some of the infocom titles would have some of the earliest out of most of them. As some of those titles would have been relatively easy to port.

Yeh, the
Infocom interview with Brian Moriarty suggests that
Wishbringer may have been the first adventure they released on the Amiga.....but that game was his baby, so who knows. The date stamps you list for the different
Infocom adventures seem to lend weight to that, though. My best bet has always been that if
Monkey Business wasn't the first Ami game, then it was probably a text/graphics adventure by
Infocom or
Activision for the reasons you suggest and more.
