Re: [Audyssey] text adventures
Hi, There are a lot of interactive fiction games, coming in all flavours and genres. Fantasy, science-fiction, romance, and so on. They are mostly puzzle-like, and require a great deal of time, determination and imagination to complete. There are some interpreters such as, WinFrotz (which loads files with the extention of .zip, .z5, .z8, .zblorb, and so on), WinTads or HTML Tads (which open files with .gam extentions), Adrift, Atari, JACL (the language I work with), and much much more. If you are looking for a list of games, though, you can go to two best places on the net: First one is Baf's Guide to the Interactive Fiction Archive at http://www.wurb.com/if and the second one is Interactive Fiction Database, http://IFDB.tads.org which has a great list of interactive fiction, with recommendations and ratings from other users. If you want to play any of the games in any platform and you want the interpreter, these four can be played, but they require you to use your review curser (jaws curser in Jaws, and WindowEyes curser in Window Eyes). Anyway, the four that can be played most easily are: JACL games (with .j2 extentions), Tads games (with .gam extentions), adrift games (with .taf extentions), Inform games (with .z5, .z8, .zblorb and etc extentions). If you need more information or the interpreter for any of these, please feel free to contact me off-list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hope this helps! --- Contact info: Skype: parham-d MSN: fire_lizard16 at hotmail dot com email: parham90 at GMail dot com - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 10:47 AM Subject: [Audyssey] text adventures What text adventure games can we play using wich interpreters? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Text adventures on the pac mate?
Hi all, I'm sorry to ask again, but has nobody managed to play text adventure games made with Inform (Infocom games) on the PAC Mate? If you have, how do you open a game in the Frotsz program on the PM? There is no menu bar or context menu that I can see. Grant -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [Audyssey] Text adventures on the pac mate?
Hello Grant. It is possible that the reason you did not get much of a reply is due to the fact that no one might have an answer for you. Also, keep in mind that some people might take a few days to go through their mail and if there is someone with an answer to your question, that person might not have checked email yet or gotten to your messages. All the best. * Grant Hardy [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-02-06 05:40]: Hi all, I'm sorry to ask again, but has nobody managed to play text adventure games made with Inform (Infocom games) on the PAC Mate?
