The library feature with a suggested Game Of The Week makes this package better than "just another interpreter."

seems good at first, doesn't have some "graphical" interface such as beyond zork, and it freezes up when loading libraries. no way to delete games from the library either. with some debugging could be very nice.

Thanks for writing such a great Z-Machine interpreter for the Windows Store and making it portable across ARM, x86, and x64!

Thank you for making this wonderful app available. And Free! Very clean design, super easy to use. And downloading games couldn't be easier. Highly Recommended! I will definitely be checking out the publisher's other apps.

I would rate it 5 stars, but starting Make It Good crashes the program on the Surface RT running RT 8.1. The game works fine in x86 8.1. If this is fixed I will change my rating.

Frotz8 is a great way to play those old text adventure games again. The author (Adam) went out of his way to quickly help me figure out how to change the background color and text size. I'm new to Windows 8.1, and didn't know the "Settings" button on the Charm bar also worked within the apps. I highly recommend this app. Easy to use, and has a sleek, professional interface. How come such a great app is still free? Thanks Adam!

A zmachine interpreter that can't play zork without crashing???... Update.- looks like it's older z-machine files that won't play, the updated versions work fine
