Hi Shirley,
A really good resource for free interactive fiction text adventures is
http://www.ifarchive.org
but you will need to download some additional software to run them such

depends on the game you download.

Typically I use frob to play tads games. However, frob is a Linux/Unix
program. So, this won't work with Window-Eyes.

Hi everyone.
I thought of trying out some tads games today. Does anyone know if the tads
inturprater works well with system access? Or is there another inturprater that
speaks that works with tads games?
I have made some test games in both tads and inform.
Thanks.

around, you can find some I'm sure. I do know the Adrift games and the
engine is found at www.adrift.org.uk.

Hi,
I haven't played any text adventure games for ages and want to get back into
