Infocom Text Adventure App for Blackberry!

Just wanted to send out a public thanks to William Johnson for his continuing work on a Z-Machine interpreter for Blackberrys (and other J2ME devices), Zaxmidlet. ConstantineXVI and I have been trying to drum up interest over on the Crackberry forums for someone to develop this app, and William came to our rescue like a bolt from the blue.

I just finished installing the newly-released version 0.1.4, and William seems to have deftly fixed all the little bugs I'd encountered in version 0.1.1.

Is that a Zork in your pocket, or are you just happy to have something to do on the plane? (No playing Leather Goddesses during boring church services, you perverts!)

Zork on a Blackberry?

Several of us on the Crackberry forums are trying to drum up interest to get a developer to write a Z-Machine interpreter for Blackberrys.

What am I talking about? Remember the Infocom text adventures (interactive fiction) from the late 70s / early 80s? Games like Zork and the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy? Z-Machine is the program that runs all those old adventures, and a lot of new public domain ones.
