If any of you guys are really old-school, you are probably familiar with the Infocom text games like Zork. I found a great interpreter for pocketpc that runs these games! You can assign words to a menu, so you can point and click your way through the game without typing. Very cool.

Does not work with 2003?
All I get is a load of gibberish when
I load a game.

Never mind.
Playing Clock Tower now with my newly sound capable
PocketSnes. What a creepy game had 3 heart attacks in the first 3 minutes already dont know if I can go on....... :D

Works with 2003 on my HP 2215 -- you need to download the .dat files -- I don't think it'll work with an .exe ot .bat file.

Yeah, clocktower rocks! I like the atmosphere.

Yeah, I beat Zork 1 with that Infocom interpreter on my old Jornada 547, about 2 years ago. I was a baby when those games were made, so it was a good experience for me to learn about what you old fogies used to play, back in the day. :)
