grotz is a GTK port of Frotz — the classic Z-code game engine. grotz, like Frotz, is intended for playing 'interactive fiction' games compiled for the Inform Z-machine platform. Although the Z-machine is, in a sense, an archaic and defunct platform, many games and stories were developed for it, and more continue to be written. grotz makes a reasonable job of playing most of the original Infocom games — Zork, Arthur, Lurking Horror, etc — including (to some extent) graphics and sound. The world of interactive fiction has moved on since the Infocom days, but these old games still exercise a Z-code interpreter thoroughly — more so than modern developments which rely less on the Z-machine to provide the complete user interface. | ||||||||||||||||||
