their are always the iPhone games by maverick software, depending on what devices you have, more cupcakes is a good starting point. Jessica. 2/23/2018 11:27 PM, Jude DaShiell wrote: I forget if this is a .z8 game or .tads but I remember one of them with the title "chicken vindalou" in which

Hmmm, it isn't hard to find software to play zcode games at all, or indeed games in other If formats like tads or glulks either. All the best, Dark. - Original Message - From: "Tyler Zahnke" To: Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2018

I thought the mac had an interpreter called Zoom or something that could play Zcode, tads and glulks games, though obviously since I don't have a mac I'm only guessing here. All the best, Dark. - Original Message - From: "Jude DaShiell" To:

Parchment is really difficult to erase. All kinds of Pagan Literature from the days when Rome was a major power are being recovered because of this. For sure, clay tablets with a stylus can be used to play those games so long as the clay isn't hardened. :-) On Sat, 24 Feb 2018, Tyler Zahnke

I wonder if they can be played on Parchment. I think Parchment is cross-platform. And I thought people were still making games for the Z-machine using Inform 6 and 7, mostly 7. On 2/24/18, Jude DaShiell wrote: > Hard? Have you tried a google search like frotz for windows

Most of them aren't playing on the original z-machine any longer. You might be able to find one of them in Rick's Pawn Shop or that Pawn Shop in Detroit that's on TV or maybe the Smithsonian Museum by now. On Sat, 24 Feb 2018, Tyler Zahnke wrote: Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2018 07:46:27 From: Tyler

Well, if I remember correctly, Zork was for the original Z machine, and that's a game that's held up just as well as any 80s video game; millions still play it. On 2/24/18, Jude DaShiell wrote: > z8 is the last so far of the z-machine formats the .z5 format was an > earlier
