Hi Kimberly.
Well, since you dare to tread in our thread *smile*, why not take the
opportunity to grab my archive of Infocom goodies, they're text based games
which I'm sure both you and your little one will find engaging, challenging
not to mention educational and fun at the same time. I'm not going to make
health claims and benefits backed up by dubious science or anything LOLOL,
however reading, writing and thinking are all that is required to enjoy a
text adventure and they will help your son with these activities in a fun
and challenging way. There are a couple of junior level Infocom games which
might appeal, Seastalker and Wishbringer, plus the Zork games have massive
appeal right across the board with players young and old. I'll be on hand
to help get everything up and running and the best part of all, its all
completely free, not a penny cent required by me or anyone else.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi all...I have 2 requests...First, I am looking for XBox for my 7
year old son, and have NO idea what to look for as far as games or
accessories or even what price range I'm looking for...Since, y'all
seem to know so much about games, thought I'd ask you
first...Secondly, I am looking for games to play, for myself, on my
PC...I'm using JAWS and W7...Is there anything I can play which
doesn't require a lot of downloading of extras?...As some of you know,
I am one of the profoundly technologically challenged, so it would be
great to find games which are more easily installed and such...Thanks,
and feel free to email me privately if it's easier...Happy Thanks
Giving, and remember to eat way too much...(smile)

Hi Laura.
winfrotz will work under windows 7 and play all the infocom games, so no
worries on that score, it's just winfrotz tts that won't sinse it was
based
on the 2002 version of the program and hasn't been updated for years.
Ironically though the modern winfrotz actually has! sapi support anyway,
albeit that it's a little patchy, making the older tts custom program
somewhat redundent.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

OK, it looks like I got it to work after all.
Ibrahim, are there interpreters that work well with JAWS under Windows 7?
Last I heard, there weren't any good ones, so I'm curious.
Thanks.

Hi Everyone.
OK, for all you Interactive Fiction nerds and for those of you who
mightn’t
have played an IF title before, I’m delighted to enclose my Infocom
collection, a file containing over 500 megabytes of goodies including
manuals, maps, hints, solutions and other miscellaneous files, back
issues
of their in house magazine, game patches, articles and so on. The games
can be played using a ZCode interpreter which i will help out in
obtaining, installing and using as well as on an IPhone, IPod or IPad
with
the free Frotz download from the app store. This has been a labour of
love
collecting all this stuff together, so if anyone has anything to
contribute that is Infocom related but perhaps not included here, please
let me know and I’ll do my best to source it, lets make this thing as
complete an archive as we possibly can. Link follows and I hope you all
enjoy what is on offer.

All the best, Ibrahim.
