Das waren noch Zeiten ...

Schnoedl · 9 years ago · v1.0.2

Auch wenn einige Spiele fehlen hat man hier über Monate seinen Rätselspass. Und hat man früher bis zu DM 60,-- und mehr für ein Spiel gezahlt, ist die Sammlung für den Preis fast ein Geschenk.

Please Please Please sell this in the Mac App Store!

Silidad · 9 years ago · v1.0.2

Please sell this in the Mac app store. Im a (very longtime) Mac developer and I would help you port what you have over to the Mac for free. This would be so much better because: keyboard support, the ability to play the game in one window and have the map open at the same time in another. I purchased this product in 1993 for the Mac in the form of "Lost Treasures of Inform I & II" and then I bought the whole thing again in the late 90s bought on a CD with the games on it. I also used to drool over these games in the 1980s at "Software Etc.". I was a kid and couldnt afford them. I did play a bootleg copy of Zork I for the Apple ][ around 1983 and a pirated copy of Leather Goddesses of Phobos a bit later. Both of the packages I bought in the 90s were for the Mac, but obviously it was pre-OS X so youd have to run them in an emulator today, or there is a way to extra the playable game and run it on a Z-machine. But thats really more work than Id be up for when wanting the play. Plus, I love having the companion docs for the games. So a modern MacOS X version of Lost Treasures of Infocom would be amazing. I think I bought Lost Treasures even more times than I have purchased the album "Los Angeles" by X (cassette, vinyl, CD, remastered CD, and finally iTunes), Id be happy to buy this one again on Mac.

Please update keyboard

M-o-o-n-a-g-e-D-a-y-d-r-e-a-m · 9 years ago · v1.0.2

The keyboard is in the iPhone 5 style, too large for the screen and interferes with the aesthetic. I like the app overall, good job. Missing some favorites, as others have noted, and the map for Suspended is not usable.

Great Collection. Not complete

Wizord923 · 9 years ago · v1.0.2

This is a great collection of Infocom games but it is NOT complete. Missing are the understandable why. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, as the Douglas Adams estate own it, Missing is, The Journey Begins, not sure why this is not in the collection. It would be a more complete collection to include that one. I like the fact that there is an option to buy the invisible clues that came with the games and the art work of boxes are awesome. Also there is scan of the "feelies" that came with each game and that is also awesome. There are maps of the games with help, if you like text based games then this collection of Infocom games is. MUST buy

Its been 4 years and this is still not accessible to those who are blind!

TallyChip · 9 years ago · v1.0.2

What could possibly be the reason?

Great Way to Relive The Classics

brerlappin · 9 years ago · v1.0.2

Some suggestions... 1. Please make this app 64-bit so we can continue to play in iOS 11. 2. Add 12.9" iPad Pro support so it scales nicer 3. Add the iOS 10 keyboard (or let us pick 3rd party ones) 4. It would be great if we could custom name our saves instead of using just a number... Please look at Frotz for iOS to see how they do it. Much more intuitive. 5. Add iCloud support so we can play seamlessly between devices. 6. Please update with a new collection to include: Beyond Zork Zork Zero Bureaucracy Hitchhikers Guide Nord & Bert Journey Sherlock Shogun Arthur

Infocom est de retour

Book of Kells · 13 years ago · v1.0.1

Excellente appli qui permet pour une somme tres modique de replonger dans les aventures publiée par Infocom. Il vous faudra bien plus dune centaine dheures pour terminer lensemble de cette collection. Deux points importants: bien comprendre langlais (il nexiste pas de traduction en français, malheureusement) et ne pas être rebuté par labsence de graphisme car il sagit daventures en mode texte. Essayez Zork fourni gratuitement avec lappli de base. Cest un bon moyen de savoir si vous aimerez les autres jeux. Pour ma part, il sagit là dune collection de jeux daventure parmi les meilleurs que je nai jamais joué. Avis aux amateurs...
