  • Fun times

    Rather enjoyable, however playing Zork the directions don’t seem to go to where they are suppose to.

    For instance, going north twice to the forest to retrieve the egg, the going south twice should put you right back at the west of the house l, but when I go south twice, puts me in the forest still. Seems odd.

  • gateway to infocom

    turns your cell phone into an apple IIe that plays the old infocom games from the 80’s. love it!
  • Best game ever

    This game has tons of different storylines.
    I got it for zork, but all the other games are equally awesome.
    This has entertained me for hours and is now my favorite game.
  • Wonderful! (Question inside!)

    This is a wonderful story telling game, I love it very much. Though some stories can be difficult without some sort of guide. Other than that I have a question. For the story, “Varicella” there is a command called “penis.” Me and my friend at every confused on what the purpose of this is, since it is one of the preset word. Ex being if I type x and space it will become examine. If I type pen, penis will show up. If you could perhaps give me the answer me and my friend are searching for, that would be great! Much love.

  • One suggestion

    Great for all the reasons stated, but I was hoping that the PC BIOS font was available as an option. A lot of fans like this for the nostalgia and the old, primitive font would be a great aesthetic touch.
  • Good but not covering everything I need

    It lacks the functionality for games that have interactive windows to click on commands making it miss out on some modern day IF games
  • Wonderful

    I can't describe how fantastic it is to be able to come back to this genre every once in a while. This style of game had an enormous influence on me as a kid- this app works very well and I hope it lives forever.
  • A huge thank you

    To the dev of this app. I love it, have used it for many years in ios and will continue to for as long as you support it.

    2 suggestions:

    1. Interface options.
    If you ever get the itch, providing more choices in readability would be appreciated. The use of color to highlight key words, the old ios infocom treasures app did some pretty nice formatting things that you could look at, for improving this app.
    Or not. I love this app as is, and would rather you keep it going as is, then develop it further, get burned out and stop supporting it at some point in the future. So it’s just a thought.

    2. Add a “pro” version. Charge a few bucks for it, as an in app purchase, or whatever. Even if it offers no additional features. I will gladly toss some dollars your way, just as thanks for what you have already done.

  • Just needs one update.

    Works and plays really well. The only thing I would’ve liked is an update to be able to play some stories that come with pictures/images. But that’s just hopeful wishing at this point.
  • Awesome! But game importing interface?

    I love the app, that it’s free, and that it makes this kind of game available to me again. I remember these kinds of games from my early childhood… I haven’t managed to get any new games installed. It would be cool if the app had an app-get interface for importing new, compatible games.
