Just to let you know - on this sort of standalone comsole implementation of
a version of the ubuntu operating system, while connected to 'net, ran that
command, and it installed frotz, and when now launched it to run a standard
.z8 game file, it actually worked/ran perfectly.
Thanks
And, joke is that while this piece of hardware can do a hell of a lot more,
it means you could also use it as a form of standalone IF game console for
our use...<smile>
Stay well

Hi Jacob,
You could just use the standard Frotz interpreter found in the Ubuntu
repository. To install it just do
sudo apt-get install frotz
and once it is installed do
frotz filename.z5
to run the ZCode game.

just wondering, among other things which sort of interactive fiction

possibly,
and it would preferably be one able to handle *.z? games, etc.?
