## Description
Named after a Zorkian spell to render something luminous (in turn derived from
MIT hacker jargon), Frotz has long been the de facto standard Z-machine
interpreter — the Z-machine being the “Zork” virtual machine devised by the
brains at Infocom to allow their games’ data structures to be used on a
plethora of different hardware platforms without requiring slow and costly
ports of every game to every platform.
Three decades later and the latest conversion of this technology is to a
portable machine that doesn’t even have a keyboard! Not only is the iPhone’s
Frotz capable of running most any (non-graphical) Z-machine game, by Infocom
or amateur alike, but it also comes bundled with two dozen top-ranked
Z-machine games, including:
* 9:05
* The Act of Misdirection
* An Act of Murder
* All Roads
* Anchorhead
* Balances
* Being Andrew Plotkin
* Bronze
* A Change In The Weather
* Child’s Play
* Christminster
* Curses!
* Dreamhold
* For A Change
* Heroes
* Jigsaw
* Lost Pig
* The Meteor, the Stone and a Long Glass of Sherbet
* Photopia
* Slouching Toward Bedlam
* Spider And Web
* Varicella
* Vespers
* The Weapon
* and Zork (M.I.T. version)
