Hi,
Your problem isn't with the game per se, it's with the program you're
using to play it. The latest versions of Frotz have an unfortunate
problem when it comes to accessibility on Windows, perhaps something to do
with the way text is rendered on screen. I suggest Filfor as an
alternative which is more readable.
To return to the subject of the games themselves, might I suggest that you
avoid Malinch on general principles? The company and developer have,
well, a reputation in the interactive fiction community, and not the good
kind. I highly doubt your game experience will be worth your while.
Hope this helps,
Zack.

Hi Everyone,
I have been away from the list for quite a qhile but since I am having a
problem when trying to play games I thought I would ask if anyone else has
experienced this.
I am using windows xp with jaws 11 and I have installed the newest version of
frotz for windows, version 1.14 by david kinder. Recently I bought 3 games from
Malinche games (z8 files) and downloaded a free one vanguard. I am having a
problem with at least 2 of them (pinched in st petersburg and vanguard). When I
type a command into the frotz command window the results dont get shown and
nothing happens. It is as if text is just not being printed and I cant continue
onward with the game at all.
According to Howard Sherman the writer behind malinche games the games have
been extensively tested but I do remember from a few years ago that I also had
this seem problem with another of his titles endgame.
The strange thing is that I dont get an error message at all.
Are there any other people on list who ordered a malinche game and experienced
problems like this?
Greetings, Anouk,
