About Text Adventure Collection:
The retrogaming movement has embraced text adventures!
This archive contains a nice collection of both short and long text adventure games. Remember Zork and the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy? You can play them again! Hours of fun.
These adventures are strongly reminiscent of Infocom's ones, and are all nicely done.
The included index.html provides links to reviews of every one and links to more games than you could ever care to play.
The games require the frotz interpreter, which is included for PowerPC and R4 x86. The first time you run 'frotz', it selects the one it needs for your CPU, installs it in ~/config/bin/, then removes the other one (all silently). Frotz can be used to play any Infocom game, in fact, as long as you have the data files.
More information on text adventures is available at http://bang.dhs.org/if/ .
