I've been inspired to geek.

My first reaction to this offer was to flash the plastic - again. Then I thought - hey, didn't I have most of these games back "in the day".

So, I fire up WinUAE - which has travelled through at least 3 PC's with me - and have a look at what I had on my old Amiga. Sure enough - there they are - a large collection of Infocom games (20 in all) - all still working.

But, not content with my geekery, I copy the data files across to the PC and find myself a Windows interpreter (Windows Frotz - was the one I found to be the simplest to get going and most consistently handled all the files). I even sourced ports of the graphics and sound files from the few of the games which had those.

So, I have everything in the Anthology plus a whole bunch of other - but was so wrapped up in my geekery that I forgot to buy the rest of the set.

Yeah, WinFrotz is a solid terp. My personal fave, though, is Gargoyle, designed from the ground up to display high-quality text, with hinting, antialiasing and juuuuust-right linespacing. Doesn't work with everything, but the stuff it DOES work with looks fantastic.

Oooh, that is rather nice. Doesn't do the z6 games but I can stick with Windows Frotz for those.

Thanks.

sorry if this is a really stupid question but I am a total idiot when it comes to technical stuff- would I be able to buy the zork games for my iPad? I had them years ago- the graphics games , and would love to be able to play them again. Many thanks in advance.

no, u dont.

The problems I see here is, well, they all come down to Apple. Dos emulating software is hunted down and shot as far as they are concerned. If I recall correctly, you'd have to jailbreak your iPad to make DosBox work.

I really should start Necro'ing threads again

Because apparently some people are already stealing my crown...
