Hi Josh,
Well, on the Linux side Orca doesn't always work perfectly with the
interpreters, but something like yasr or brailletty can handle them just
fine. For z machine style games the classic frotz works well. If you are
looking for a Linux adrift interpreter I recommend a program called
Hi,
Yeah, that was my experience as well. Although I know there has been
some improvements with terminal applications with Orca. I suppose it
might be handy if one of us try frotz, frobtads, or scare out with a
recent build of Orca and see if anything has improved on that end.

Windows users don't really have a satisfactory solution for playing those

but I've never been happy doing that. It used to be so easy. However, with

It sounds to me by the description given hear you have the Phillips
SGC-2909 PC game controller. It is a very fine controller, and you might
want to read my review on it. It was sent to this list about a month
back so it should be in the archives somewhere. It has some very
Hi Charles,
No, but look at the Audyssey list archives. I have a review up there on
the controller. There is a mistake where I said it didn't have force
feedback support, but that was before i found out the drivers has ff
support that comes with the unit.

Hi
If you have no luck in locating the archive review I've also got it saved
for the next issue. One thing I'm finding is I can't half the time recall
which button is which. I'll have to work on that part.

Hey there to all,
We are now pleased to announce the arrival, late though it might be, of our
behind-the-scenes blog!
This will be a replacement of the old Development Diary, as it will be a lot
easier to post to.
It will list any activity that is being carried out at X-Sight Interactive that
If you're going to go that far, you might want to give some race or
class the ability to cause enemy weapons to break or shatter.
Still the question remains concerning the different types of leather.
Does this have an effect on anythingg? That is, is deer any better or
worse than, say, cave bear?
Hi MIchael,
With the recent resurgence of interactive fiction, which just seems to
be getting started, it's too bad this is the case for WIndows users.
Even the iPhone has a ZMachine interpretor now.

Hey Damien, is the site pacmate.x-sight-interactive.net up? It makes it
easier for me to keep the X-Sight games running on PM'S updated, as well as
to continue releasing other ported games from X-sight. Also, Acefire will be
done this year. Sorry I am so far behind. HTH.

Hi. In Linux I'm using frotz and/or zfrob (name not sure) for zcode
machine games and frob for tads games. I'm using scare for Adrift games
as well.
Hope this helps.

As far as I know that site is still up. I haven't touched any of the sites

Hi,
It sounds that way to me too. I don't mind using frob, scare, etc on
linux for if games, but it is a bit of a drag switching screen readers
just to play games. On Windows the winfrotz project has totally gone
down hill, and the tts version isn't perfect. So it sounds like Zoom for

This is most interesting. I will now have to take a second look at your

Pushing keys though does not go far enough. If I do play a game adapted for

Hi Tom,
This one is going to be hard to reproduce, but when you encounter an enemy at
the top of the first staircase you always die. You can not kill him like normal
enemies.
Hope you can fix it.

That's never happened to me, so it's definitely going to be hard to
reproduce if not impossible.
