Xenia, the fox girl mascot of Linux, was first designed in 1996 by Alan Mackey. She was meant to be an alternative to Tux, the official mascot. Something that would resurface in an article years later.
Suspended is a 1983 interactive fiction game written by Mike Berlyn and published by Infocom.
This repository is a directory of source code for the Infocom game "Suspended", including a variety of files both used and discarded in the production of the game. It is written in ZIL (Zork Implementation Language), a refactoring of MDL (Muddle), itself a dialect of LISP created by MIT students and staff.
The source code was contributed anonymously and represents a snapshot of the Infocom development system at time of shutdown - there is no remaining way to compare it against any official version as of this writing, and so it should be considered canonical, but not necessarily the exact source code arrangement for production.

Telehack is a simulation of a stylized arpanet/usenet, circa 1985-1990. It is a full multi-user simulation, including 26,600+ simulated hosts from the early net, thousands of files from the era, a collection of adventure and IF games, a working BASIC interpreter with a library of programs to run, simulated historical users, and more. Telehack is an interactive virtual museum that allows one to see what the Internet was like in the 1990s, when young hackers were browsing through different bulletin board systems and shell accounts. One can learn exactly how they hacked in a safe and simulated environment as well as view real documents saved from BBSes thanks to textfiles.com.
