You mean Deadline!  Although, yes, there is also the MST3K Detective which
is a parody of a rather pitiful game made by a 12-year-old in AGT.  The
catch to the Inform port of Deadline is that, you're supposed to
theoretically have a legal copy to be permitted to compile the port, but
there is no way to enforce this.  In any case, it's actually not that bad
a port.  If Infocom had made a Solid Gold version of Deadline, this is
probably what it would have been like.
