Beschrijving
[*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.

Beoordelingen en recensies
Good but formatting can go haywire
Playing Zork I. Looking at J. Piermont Flathead’s painting (encountered early on in the game) changes the interpreter’s font to Courier for a while, and chances are it no longer flows text across multiple lines. Rotating the phone does not help, nor does restoring a saved game or forcefully quitting the app. Otherwise a great experience.
No map
Great app but you cant draw or see maps. So you still need paper and pencil to play. If you search the app store for Dreamhold (a great text adventure that can also be played in Frotz but is available as stand alone with the map option) you see what I mean and how it should be done....This feature is a must. Too bad otherwise this is a 5 star app.
Awsome
This is cery cool :D thou sometimes it needs a little hint:p goodjob
