jerseystyle Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Just ran across this site. Pretty neat! http://www.xs4all.nl/~pot/infocom/ I tried to play these but could not get them to start up- perhaps I am doing something wrong . . . did you get these to work on your browser?

+save2600 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Yes: Firefox, Camino and Safari all play the games. What are you using? IE? Couldn't tell 'ya if that works or not as there's been a voluntary M$ embargo in this household since the 90's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cvga Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 IE works. Thanks for posting this link. It would be fun to get a group of "explorers" together to replay some of these games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirage Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Firefox 3.0.17 on Mac here, works fine. It takes 30 seconds or so to come up, then the black part of the screen will just have the prompt. Hit enter and you'll get "Beg your pardon?". I've known about this site for quite some time and have never had an issue with any browser or OS.

Tom-Lynx Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Works fine on Safari for Windows. This is great! I had many of these games as originals for the Apple II and it's bringing back memories quickly. Thank you for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
