Description:Interactive Fiction at Your Fingertips
[*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 free works of Interactive Fiction (a.k.a. text adventure games) on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.
Frotz plays titles written in the Z-Machine format. This format 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.
In the past decade, text adventures have experienced a renaissance 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.
What's New
- Better text performance: Frotz' text output support has been rewritten and is now faster and has a larger scroll-back buffer.
- Word selection: You can now double-tap on a word in the story output to copy it to the command line.
- Web-based File Transfer: You can now transfer game files with an easy-to-use web interface as well as FTP.
- Improved Auto-save: Frotz now maintains separate auto-save files for every story, and saves your progress automatically during play to avoid accidental loss of progress.
- Frotz 1.4 also has numerous other UI improvements and bug fixes.
New in 1.4.1:
- Full-screen support for iPad!
- Fixed a text color bug which caused text to always draw in black even if the color was customized.
