Description

[*Warning* Playing Frotz involves reading, thinking, and typing. If you just want to blow stuff up, this is not the app for you!]

Burned out on all the new-fangled graphics and dazzling eye candy on your shiny new iPhone or iPad? Nostalgic for a simpler time? Then take advantage of those crisp high-resolution fonts to relive the glory days of the Great Underground Empire, or play any of hundreds of great works from the Interactive Fiction archive.

Frotz lets you play hundreds of free works of Interactive Fiction (a.k.a. text adventure games) on your iPhone or iPad.

Frotz plays titles written in the Z-Machine format (which was invented by Infocom and was used to produce classic text adventures from the 80s such as the Zork Trilogy, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and Trinity), as well as glulx and TADS formats.

In the past couple of decades, text adventures have experienced a renaissance of sorts due to the efforts of a diverse Internet community of talented interactive fiction writers and fans. Many of these games are written using the same engine that powered Infocom's titles, thanks to the Inform compiler and authoring system created by Graham Nelson.

NOTE! If you have suggestions for improving Frotz or encounter bugs, please go to the support link and report them.

It‘s time for another review!

We all mourn the demise of the lost treasures of infocom with the arrival of iOS 11.
But Frotz is still going strong in 2023, holding up the flags of our grandfathers who have played text based games on their monochrome monitors in endless nights!

Réponse du développeur ,

It's really a shame that a 74 billion dollar company can't find a few developer-days of effort to recompile the LTOI app for 64-bits and recent iOS versions. But you can play almost all of the Infocom games in Frotz and there are built-in bookmark links to download the game files as well as docs in the IfDB browser.

Für Nostalgiker

Die MIT Version von Zork wird mitgeliefert, und was gibt es Schöneres, als Zork zu spielen? 😃 Besitzt man Infocom Games kann man diese selber z.B. via FTP nach-installieren (leider nicht via iTunes File Sharing). Mal sehen, ob ich jetzt endlich mal dazu komme, Trinity zu spielen 😁 Frotz ist wohl nur etwas für hartgesottene Nostalgiker, wenn man aber Spass an altmodischen Text-Adventures hat, dann sollte man diese gut für das iPad umgesetzte App unbedingt ausprobieren.
