Hi Dark, I tried the link for the infocom games and got the following error.
Error 403 You have moved into a dark place. It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. Flee to the main page and try again. I clicked on the main page link, and got the same page and error. I will try the other link to see if it works. I tried the other link and it works, but there is no Wishbringer download to be found. Any other websites to check out?

If I remember rightly, Wishbringer is one of the enchanter games in the Zork series from infocom, the same that featured my ravenous friend, the Grue! You can find all of the infocom games at http://if.illuminion.de/index.html To play them in windows, all you need is the Win frotz interpretter, (which will also let you play lots of other text adventure games written in Zcode format). there are lots of places to get Win Frotz. If you want the standard Win frotz that you'll need to use a screen reader to use, I suggest http://www.microheaven.com/IFGuide/IFGuide.pl?step=6&c=0 which also provides a nice selection of If games for you to try out. for a more complete site on if, try http://www.wurb.com/if/ If on the other hand you'd prefer the win frotz tts that outputs directly to ms sapi, you can get it from http://www.whitestick.co.uk/text.html I hope all this is of some use to you. Beware the Grue! (particularly if you are venturing Zorkwards), Dark.
