I think this is an interesting project for those who have enough time and knowledge for doing. In the UK there are yet a lot of interactive fiction fans, that is, text adventure fans. For this, there are a lot of text adventure games, also actual text adventure developers. There are, too, some programming languages for making text adventures. One of them, one of the most populars, called Inform, has an interesting feature: Inform compiles the program to a multiplatform code, called z-code, and there is too a z-code interpreter: the z-machine (the concept is the same that Java and the Java Virtual Machine). The z-machine specifications and source code is public domain, so if the z-machine is ported to MSX, all of the games programmed with inform (there are a lot) can be played on MSX. I think it isnt't difficult, and the z-machine has ben ported to PC, Amiga, ... and !!Gameboy!!. Some info about the z-machine can be found on http://www.gnelson.demon.co.uk/zspec/index.html Somebody interested? Think at the new amount of games that could be played if z-machine is ported to MSX!
