Classic text based games coming to your iPhone
Some of the old favorite text based games are now coming to the iPhone. A new free application called Frotz Z-Machine Interpreter 0.1 will allow you to run games that were based in the Z-Machine platform on your iPhone.
The Z-Machine games were text adventure games similar to the popular classic Zork. For those that have never played (or seen) Zork you control the game with verb-noun commands such as “go north”. While this sounds fun, at least for those that played Zork growing up, it takes a little more than just loading up another application. In order to install Frotz you will have to already have your iPhone jailbroken/sshd-enabled so you can copy a new directory to your phone.
