Re: [Audyssey] Any interactive fiction fans out there?
hmmm there are several reasons I have not bothered. one being I don't have a working synth that works. 2. I have no external drive at least one that will run 720kb disks. 3. I don't have a working external synth and or serial ports. I know hal can handle command mode in windows some but I honestly havn't bothered with running my games that way. I use command mode in windows to get system functions that I need to run outside windows like agx creating and such. I'm not really that desperate I have most stuff running and I seriously don't want to run something that will try to directly access hardware meaning crashing and probably reformatting the system so windows boots. >Hi Shaun, >Have you tried a dos emulator like Dosbox, and if so what was the >result?

hmmm agt is adventure gaming toolkit. in cosmoserve you are a programmer trying to make your living and you are also a plumber. Anyway you need to get this program to a client by 8 in the morning the next day. Firstly though you need to find your password. On finding said thing you log on only to find the system is hacked, a virus has taken over the net and will slowly eat your system into the ground. on top of that you need to find how to fix your program, you are hungry and if you don't get something done you will be quite broke by morning. hmmm did I mention you could go to jail to, probably die in some places, etc. in short you are rather a mess. not that you actually have much time to think about this, as you need to contend with a hacker and a sysop gone insanely nuts pluss well the virus you actually do face it. and well if you don't speak to a sertain someone before you get that sorted you die.

well I wish there was agt for windows. agility tries to be agt for windows. however it would be good if it converted all text of all games including computer prompts, etc. there is no market for it which is a pitty. agility is old the last release copywrite was 2001 but there is source there and its in standard c so its not like someone could change it. its done under the gpl version2 aparently.

Hi Dark, Lol! I like your rusty latch puzzle...that's very infocomy. Two puzzles that have always stumped me as for logic are the royal puzzle and the robbing the bank puzzle. The royal puzzle makes sense, sure...if you can picture the entire thing, but the bank puzzle is completely and totally illogical. I must admit that most of my experience with even the easiest of Infocom IF was started by perusing the entire walk through. Particulary the Zork/Enchanter games which I always found very puzzling.

Thus my favourite games have been worlds apart and bable which were tads, dreamhold, the djini chronicles, pythos mask, lash and wearing the claw which were zcode, and then the earth and sky series which started in zcode, then moved into glulks. You can find them all by searching baffs' guide. As I said, I completed azteca, but thought it was okay, then started the pentori series on the basis that malinches' very aggressive promotional style (which actually i find to be rather irritating), and the fact that their a commercial company must have some basis in fact, but after getting stuck in the fireplace in the first pentori prequal (I had to actually E-mail malinch about that one), then getting practically nowhwere with the next pentori game, well lets just say i sort of lost interest.

Hi Muhammed, A BrailleNote? What? All you need is a zcode interpreter. What humanware did was to creat an interpreter based on the JZip interpreter.

Hi Mike, Most games, such as those found on the interactive fiction archive, are free to play. However, some of (or all of) the companies I've ever heard of that make these games end up charing a fee to play them, or in the Infocom/Level9 days, buying them on floppy disc.

Re: [Audyssey] Any interactive fiction fans out there?
Hi Dark, In regards to an earlier post of yours, I know what you mean. I was playing the zcode version of zork, and I had no idea how to enter the mirror to get to the door in the endgame. The walkthrough I had said "enter the box". This did work at all. I found out that I had to simply type "enter". That was a relief to finally figure out, though exasperating none the saime--I do like the way that one was combined from the three infocom zorks, and it doesn't hurt they added a bit here and there.

Re: [Audyssey] Any interactive fiction fans out there?
Hmmm, I can't recall azteca specifically, but remember how well you c an interact with game elements depends very much on how much of a brain the creator had. I spent ages trying to get through the fireplace in the pentory prequal, --- north, (sinse it was in the north wall), enter fire place "you can't enter that" when it turned out I had to type in, for the love of pete! I don't remember any such issue with azteca, but I will confess this business with the prequal, and the fact that I can make no headway whatsoever with the demo of the first game rather put me off malinch's stuff. As with regular fiction though, this just depends upon who wrote the game, and there is a lot more interactive fiction available than just malinches' stuff, check those links I sent in the previous message for starters, then have a look at http://www.wurb.com/if/ and search for something with good reviews that looks interesting. personally, I'd recommend stuff by emily short, paul obrian and aAndrew plotkin, but again this depends upon my personal preference for weerd exploritory fantasy stuff.

Hi mike. No problem with traffic about if on this list, --- ask away. If you are a newby though, you could do much worse than checking out http://www.microheaven.com/IFGuide/step2.html which have a great beginners' guide. I'd also recommend you try the game dreamhold by andrew plotkin found at http://ifarchive.heanet.ie/if-archive/games/zcode/dreamhold.z8 you can run this with windows frotz, winfrotz (including the winfrotz tts version which outputs directly to sapi), or anything which plays z code game files. It's a really great story and adventure, but whats' more is it's probably the best introduction to If I've seen. there are various ones knocking about, but for a hands on in game intro going through how to give commands, and what puzles are, dreamhold is deffinately my favourite (not the least because it's an incredibly interesting game and story in it's own right). hth.
