That sounds intriguing, but only because I have fond memories of the
Gregory Franklin story.  

Suspended was the third Infocom game we got when I was a kid--the first
two being Zork I and Starcross--and I remember opening the box on
Christmas Eve, playing with the mask, playing the game, and reading that
manual.  Afterwards, I went and watched my older brother play the game for
a while, snickering loudly.

My older brother's name is, of course, Gregory.
