Hi Ishen.
Well you need Filfre to play the if game files, you then need the files for
whatever game you want to play to run in that interpreter, just like if you
wanted to play music files you'd need both the program to play them and the
files of whatever music you wished to play.
interactive fiction might not be the best thing to play with a younger
brother, especially sinse most of the games are in English and require
reading of lots of text, also the games are single player, you couldn't take
turns or similar. I'd suggest either trying him on some audio games (I've
played some of Jim Kitchin's with sighted friends of mine), or if he isn't
keen on playing with sound, try some audio games with graphics such as those
from spoonbill.
Actually the spoonbill titles might be good sinse they have computer
versions of classic real games such as brainiac, (concentration), unoo,
hearts, mine sweeper, chess, as well as word games like boggle and scrabble.
Just go to http://www.omninet.net.au/~irhumph/blindgamers.htm to read about
the games, and if you want any of them e-mail Ian humphries. they're also
free.
Hth.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
