(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Albert Vezza was a computer science professor and a founder of video game company Infocom. Career Vezza was the assistant director of MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science and in charge of LCS's Dynamic Modeling group in the late 1970s when group members Dave Lebling, Marc Blank, Tim Anderson, and Bruce Daniels began creating the game that would become Zork. By 1979, many of the graduating students in the DM group were interested in continuing to work together by establishing a company, and Vezza, who had long wanted to bring together his former students in a commercial venture, agreed to help fund the company, named Infocom.
