Hi thanks for this info. I've really gotten more into the audio games that have come out in the last few years and had pretty much given up on text adventures, but the idea of taking some of the old games around on my pac mate and playing zork or something on the way to work really piques my interest. I've downloaded the interpretter and one or two of the games from the site and will probably install them later on. But what if I wish to really get nostalgic and play some of the old zork and other infocom titles again? I may just possibly have ligit copies of ms-dos versions of zork 1 2 and 3 laying around here somewhere god knows where along with the old leather goddesses of phobos game, man I played that damn thing for about two years before I solved it lol. Anyhow is it possible to somehow bring the data files from these things into the pocket pc interpretter? I am not talking about the mechanics of getting the files onto the pac mate I can do that, I just need to know which ones and if any converting is required. Also if someone can let me know if any scripts are required that would be good too.
Thanks again.
