Description
An interpreter for all Infocom games. Complies with standard 1.0 of Graham Nelson's specification. Frotz runs text adventures which come in so-called story files: ZORK1.DAT, TRINITY.DAT, CURSES.Z5, JIGSAW.Z8, ARTHUR.ZIP etc. It is possible to play Atari ST, Amiga or Macintosh games on your computer once you manage to transfer the story files. There is an increasing number of new games available on the Internet. Check the if-archive at http://ifarchive.org/
