Hi Ari, My point was that the PC versions of the games are more or less accessible. You could run the PC (DOS) version of say Lord of the Rings from the command prompt in Windows XP. BTW, there is also an interpreter somewhere on the if-archive calld unquill. This interpreter can run games wri

Hi Phil and Lisa, I'll look at these, but would like if someone could also help me try them out, to find accessible ones, as I've already tried four inaccessible ones, please if someone could look. The games are in the Interactive Fiction Archive, you first go to ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/f

Hi, I know that PC versions of many games including those from Level 9 and also Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are available from Home of the Underdogs at: www.the-underdogs.info However, that site requires visual verification. A few years back I remember someone on this list saying something

Most text adventure games I play these days are under Linux. It seems that Linux has some of the best game intrepraters out, but not everyone uses Linux on here. Frotz is a good one for z5 and z8 games, and frob is good for tads games. Scare is good for Adrift ones, and agil is good for agt gam
