Re: How can I play text adventures, like Curses, on my computer?

first, I don't know about source forge but the main homepage of windows frotz is http://www.davidkinder.co.uk/frotz.html the website of the main developer david kinda. As regards the program itself what exactly do you mean "inaccessible" have you tried to read the screen with a virtual curser, eg, jaws review curser, dolphin curser, the nvda thing (I think it's called flat review mode or something). Bare in mind that since the text doesn't have a curser itself you won't be able to just arrow threw most of the time and need to read manually, though I have heard of a Nvda addon that speaks incoming text automatically. Alternatively, try the speech option with sapi to speak incoming text, it's in the menu under options I believe.I would also advise turning off everything on screen to make things clearer.Hth.

Re: How can I play text adventures, like Curses, on my computer?

I have yet to look for the other one, but Windows Frotz from Source forge doesn't seem to be accessible once I loaded a Z5 game.

Re: How can I play text adventures, like Curses, on my computer?

Ah, I see. Depending upon your screen reader, winfrotz or filfre might do if the games are zcode.

No, I am using Bootcamp to run Windows. I have Frotz on my iPhone and iPad right now. I am trying to find an interpreter that will work on Windows.

Re: How can I play text adventures, like Curses, on my computer?

Moderation! While we do have a lot of tech discussion in this part of the forum, interactive fiction and text adventures are games, therefore this topic belongs in general game discussion so I will move it. As to the question itself, I'm afraid I am a bit confused. You have a Mac and run windows 10 as a virtual machine and play the games on that in frotz, but are wondering how to play them on your computer? Isn't the virtual machine already on your computer?Are you looking for if interpreters on the mac or something else?

How can I play text adventures, like Curses, on my computer?

Hello all,I have a Windows ten anniversary computer running on a disk partition on my Mac. I currently use Frotz to play such text adventures, but was wondering if there was a way to play the same text adventures on a computer.Any help would be greatly appreciated!
