More IIF (Infocom) Games Confirmed Working Under RIN

CaptJello has emailed PSPUpdates an updated list of the working Infocom Interactive Fiction (text adventure) games working under the RIN Emulator for the PSP. Here is the detailed message from him:

It has been a productive day! I have been able to get the following Infocom Interactive Fiction (text adventure) games working using the RIN Gameboy emulator:

  • Zork I
  • Zork II
  • Zork III
  • Ballyhoo
  • Deadline
  • Enchanter
  • The Lurking Horror
  • Infidel
  • Moonmist
  • Planetfall
  • Sorcerer
  • Spellbreaker
  • Starcross
  • Stationfall
  • Suspect
  • Suspended
  • Witness

Zork1onPSPI have found it is better to use the DOS utility INFGMB.COM to create the Gameboy ROMs instead of the DOS COPY command in my earlier message because it ensures the cartridge header and image size are correct.  Again the INFGMB software with documentation is available [here].

And we all know where to get RIN for PSP  =)

Zork I, II and III are publicly available.  For the other Infocom titles, you'll need to either dust off your old Apple II, Atari, Commodore or IBM disks, or Google "Infocom games" to find a variety of classic game retailers.

Credit goes to Martin Korth, author of INFGMB and Mr. Mirakichi creator of the RIN Gameboy emulator for PSP and Infocom for producing such great adventure games of the early PC era.

Thanks to CaptJello for the update.
