Hi Jacob, Wonderful. I thought you would like it. I now play all of my favorite interactive fiction games under Ubuntu Linux because I haven't found any Dos/Windows interpreters I like better.
One thing I would like to find those is a nice interpreter for Adrift adventures. There is Scare, but Scare doesn't support the combat system so if you have a game that has a lot of battle or combat you are out of luck using Scare. there is a graphical interpreter called Rogue which works but accessibility with Orca is a bit flaky. However, standard Inform and ZCode games are awesome under Linux.
