Infocom text-adventure games

After a discussion of Maylon mode for Emacs, I thought of searching for and found that the Frotz Z-machine emulator is available for the iPad/iPhone.

I have three Infocom games that I never got around to playing on my Handspring Visor: Zork1, H2G2 and ZTUU.

It make for a good comparison to the latest in exploratory games: Epic Citadel (demo, based on the Unreal 3 engine; downloaded but not installed or played yet).

  1. Don't forget to find a good MUD client for online text-adventures on the ipad. There must be one out there somewhere!
