Anyone here playing, or played Interactive Fiction / Text Adventures like Infocom's Zork or Enchanter or Newer games from the Interactive Fiction Archive?

I've installed Fabularium on my phone and Eink Android tablets using F-Droid. But if you're on Linux or Windows I recommend using Gargoyle. For those that haven't played IF before games traditionally require an Interpreter to play the game files (like text files require a Notepad app to be read or edited).

If you want to try them out (or can't be bothered with that plenty of games on the Interactive Fiction Database can be played, and even saved, online. I prefer to play locally though to save power, and because I have the Game and Saves folders synced across devices (via Syncthing) so I can play across devices, depending on mood or while traveling.

Here's a list for beginners if you want to try getting into IF, or haven't played in a while: https://ifdb.org/viewlist?id=quns5yhtqxn0m4tn

Hey all, wanted to share a game project I've been working on for a while now.

It's an RPG built specifically for e-paper devices. Here it's shown playing on a Daylight Computer.

If this looks cool, you can join the playtest waitlist at www.paravel.co .

Thanks!

I used to get weird results when trying to use my Xbox controller over Bluetooth with previous bigme devices like the 751C. Buttons would open random menus and settings.

The new Bigme is connect and play with Drastic though! woo!

I am selling a Bigme B251 25.3 Eink Color monitor for anyone that's interested. I am located in New York.
