I have a Mac, not that I don't have a PC but I'd rather play in my Mac (besides the PC is my dad's).  Is there a Mac version available anywhere?  I appreciate your help.

Yes, you can play z-code games on a Mac.  The game itself (which is the .z5 file) is platform independent.  What you will need is a z-code or Infocom interpreter for Mac.

You can find one here:

or here

for OS X and a couple others for Classic mac OS here:

It's been ages since I logged in here.  But I am thrilled to see the final text version up and online.  I haven't gone back and played since the beta testing, but I have a brand new computer up and running, and I probably will just have to play it again!

I now have a new dual processor and decend graphics so I should be able to play some new games (quite an upgrade from my 1.3 ghz processor!!!)
