Big fan of Frotz on iOS. I've played a few z-machine games over the last couple of years.
Funny thing is, my primary "in bed" reading device is also my iphone -- light, good screen, and easy to shut down when I am done.
- 300bps 13y agoI like Frotz as well - play it on my Windows Phone 8 (Nokia Lumia 928)
- limmeau 13y agoHow does Frotz deal with the "no interpreters" rule in App Store?
- fpgeek 13y agoTechnically, the rule is "no interpreters that download code". To get around it, it bundles a decent chunk of the if-archive in the app and then registers as something that can open z-machine game files (so you can use Frotz to open a game from Dropbox, after downloading in Mobile Safari, etc.).
- ott2 13y agoIt was fun playing the old Infocom games on Frotz (just add the Z3/Z4/Z5 sources using the file transfer feature on iOS). For iOS, the sources are at http://code.google.com/p/iphonefrotz/ http://code.google.com/p/iphonefrotz/ and http://sourceforge.net/projects/jfrotz/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/jfrotz/ is an Android port for those who prefer to roll their own.
