Frotz

Played some Zork, played some Anchorhead, had a wonderful time. Great app that runs excellently!

It is a good app. It seems to work. Unfortunately, the stories are poorly made. One story for example has you waking up and having to get ready to go to work (because you are late) first off: how is that in any way interesting? So, I am on a bed and need to go south to the bathroom. Okay. so: “s” but then it says “you have to get off the bed first”. so I do that, go to the bathroom. take shower. “It’s generally a good idea to take off one’s clothes before showering” “”undress” doesn’t work so “remove clothes” “you take off your soiled clothing” then “take shower” but this happens:”Carrying your possessions into the shower is a bad idea” which possessions exactly? wasn’t I sleeping? Haven’t I removed my clothes? Then the main Zork adventures has this: “A passage leads to the west and a dark staircase can be seen leading upwards.” ”climb staircase” “climb stairs” don’t work. “Go to dark staircase”. nope. so “w” but then there is no more mention of the staircase. And I checked most of these “adventures” and they are all like this. Tedious, poorly written. Simple commands do not work. It is not an issue with text-based games. Text based games work and this emulator is good. Unfortunately, it appears taht all the games were written by imbeciles!

I have always loved text based adventures, this is a fantastic app.

You’re wondering the same thing, aren’t you?

I love the app!!! I remember playing Games such as Zork I on my BrailleNote Apex back in high school, and this app brings all the fun right back! I highly recommend this app to anyone who loves playing interactive fiction games.

Five stars for yahs. If you like interactive fiction, this is all you need.

Thanks for this wonderful program. Waiting for support for z6 games (Arthur, etc.) please!

Just the other day I was thinking how cool it would be to play my Infocom adventures again, but on my iPad and then I stumbled onto this awesome app. This app is simply amazing! Tap the curser line and many of the most common commands are right at your fingertips. Double tap a written word on the screen and it instantly adds it to your curser line. I'm playing Planetfall as I write this review and this Frotz engine is making it a breeze to navigate through the adventure! If you are a fan of Interactive Fiction, this is a no brainer, get this app. 5/5 stars!

This app combines a wide selection of text-adventure games with a sturdy UI and an excellent overview for beginners (look under Settings).

Very interesting app, sometimes u just do something without write it, when u write it down it is much more fun!
