Frotz8 works great, is easy to use, and well designed. Thank you.

I just love it.

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!

My 8 year old and I have had a blast playing lost pig and other games. Thanks so much for providing this app!

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

Haven't even tried the app yet, but kudos to the author for getting the ball rolling. Let us know how we can support!

Frotz8 runs text based games. You can't change font, colors, etc., but it's easier on the eyes than a Zmachine emulator. The added convenience of a very large library of download titles makes this app a keeper. If you're an Infocom fan, then you'll love Frotz8.

This is great! Not just a simple port! Looking forward to engaging my imagination to play these classic games!

Thanks so much for not only porting frotz to windows 8 but doing it so well!

This app will allow you to replay the classic Infocom games, assuming you are still in possession of, or can acquire the game files for them. The game runs fantastically so far and I am thrilled that this is now available on Windows 8. Kudos and many thanks to the developer!
