Re: Colossal Cave on Android (was: Re: z/OSMF)
There are a number of hits that seem relevant when I do a search for "android version of dosbox", and once you have dosbox installed you should have access to a bunch of old DOS-based text games, including versions of Colossal Cave, I believe. I have not tried this personally, but I use dosbox on Windows and iPadOS for this purpose https://duckduckgo.com/?q=android+version+of+dosbox&t=newext&atb=v341-1&ia=web -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

With the ubiquity of Amazon devices it's likely the OP has one of these (Echo, Dot etc.) Just say Alexa Play Colossal Cave and it will play the game for you.

Y'all might think about changing subject lines occasionally. ;) Alas, the Colossal Cave seems to not be compatible with current Android versions. I take that to mean the developer has lost interest.
