Vultures Eye is available. Kinda hard on my old eyes :). No curses (i.e. text) version though, AFAIK.

Have a look around here for nfrotz.
It runs Infocom *.dat files.
Kinda tough to thumb all the commands, tho.

Check out;

(have not tested and NIT away from me at this moment)

http://legendsofzork.com/

http://zorkonline.net/

But the best one, in my eyes, is: http://thcnet.net/zork/

I wish there was an swf version of this so I could download for offline play...

Mmagnetic (found from repos) can run Magnetic Scroll's adventure text games.

Also this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhik...me_nolan.shtml

Also, I was able to download the flashfile for Zork here and it works great offline on my tablet: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/188334

I've got the sickest setup for playing ADOM but the SSH server is currrently down.

You can telnet (no pun) to nethack, crawl or maybe find a bbs server.

There's also Dosbox which is also something to consider. :)

I really can't stress how well http://thcnet.net/zork/ runs on the NIT.

Just launch that link in any 770, 800, 810, 900 and sit back and enjoy one of the best, old classics ever made in a format that really suits this screen size :)
