Hi Fred,
Tads and Adrift require other programs, but Filfer will play both ZCode
and Glulx, I believe. That last might not be true, as I've not used it
for some

Hello Fred,
The reason is that not all interactive fiction games are written in
the same language or use the same programming toolkit. Therefore they
usually require a seperate interpreter to run. Games written in Inform
7 won't run in Tads or Adrift and games written in Tads and Adrift
won't run
Hi,
Sure there are a number of Inform/ZMachine interpreters. Although, for
a Windows user Winfrotz or Winfrotz TTS are probably the best options.

Hi Fred,
It all really depends on what language the interactive fiction game is
written in. If it was written in Inform then you will need something
like Frotz or Winfrotz. If it is written in Adrift then you need
either Scare or the Adrift Runner. If it is written in Tads then you
need Wintads.

machine files or other titles of interactive fiction?

It'll play Z-Machine and (I believe) Glulx games. Beyond that, I'd look into
Tads and Adrift, the other two big interactive fiction systems, both

Enjoy the games,

Hi Brandon,
I'm afraid I don't know for sure, as I don't use NVDA nor Windows regularly. I
imagine it might, as the author did go to some trouble to make it work with
screen readers. It works with both Jaws and Window-Eyes, so I think it's worth
a shot.
Best,
Zack.
