Hey Tom,
Just a correction here if you allow me. the Infocom games are not written 
in Inform. The Inform programming language was created by Graham Nelson 
after the Infocom games had been released. It was created to be abe to 
create the z-code files that was produced by Infocom, and that is what you 
will most likely find in the descriptions of Inform.

Best!

Hi Keith,

Yes, Shogun is playable. However, what interpreter specifically are
you using. I don't understand when you say, I am using the text
reader from White Stick. I'm afraid that doesn't make any sense as
the Infocom games were written in a language known as Inform and are
played using in interpreter like Frotz, Winfrotz, Zoom, and so forth.

2012-02-07 Thread Milos Przic

Hello,
I tried it a while ago, and succeeded to play a good part of it. There are 
certain things that I needed the sided help for, and it went well to a 
certain point. Then, I don't remember now, but something went wrong that had 
to do with a graphic and I couldn't go furder. Ah yes, I remember now... 
There was a map of Osaka I think that you had to look at to be able to find 
an exit escaping from the Yoshida's samurai. That's where I couldn't 
succeed.

Best!

I am not sure, sinse on the interactive fiction page at whitestick there 
are links both to wintads, and to winfrotz tts.


Logic would suggest winfrotz tts, but I'm not certain.

Beware the grue!
