Looks like the TapWrite link does indeed work - just a little disconcerting to be redirected to another product.

hi due to a popular request, I've compiled and repackaged with very minor amendment frotz, not gfrotz.
https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa...43-1_armel.deb
I did not create a shortcut or anything
run by starting xterm, /usr/games/frotz
please have a test and let me know.
I have NOT tested it properly due to a shortness of time - I've only done the package because I've been asked to
I have a few days working in London, making long train journeys, so I could find some time to fix things shortly.
hmmm maybe I'll find the zorks and load them up
anyway feedback always useful
When running as normal user it errors out with "Error opening terminal: xterm-color."

It worked for me. It seems like a hassle to hunt down infocom games, though, but I have zork somewhere.

That's just it, try to run a game with it. I can pull up that same default help info all day long.

I just fixed up the control error in my build so it should now be installable with a click on the webpage.

(edit) Ok i see the problem - appears to be related to libreadline / base-files -- will get back with a solution
(edit2)
apt-get install ncurses-base and this should fix the xterm error
Cheers

Are there any plans to update GFrotz to run on OS2008? I should think the N810 is the perfect handheld for text adventures

For those wanting more frotz games to try, please know that there are TONS of freely available games written by the interactive fiction community. Also, many of them are of a higher quality and more fun than the stuff infocom produced (the genre was in its infancy then).
See this site for more general info:
http://ifarchive.org/
And for finding actual games, this site is very good:

I'm sure I'll find some other things to do.
