Play Infocom classics on your Blackberry or Java phone

You can now play Zork, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Planetfall, and other Infocom classics on your Blackberry or other J2ME device.

Troy Davis performed the open source port based on the Zplet Z-code interpreter by Matthew Russoto.

I had nothing to do with the implementation, but I’ve hosted an OTA install of the interpreter for the author, whose ISP isn’t serving up the correct mime types.

The over-the-air install is available by pointing your Blackberry browser at http://www.thebogles.com/z2me/blackberryZ2me.jad. You can download the source code from http://gpf.dcemu.co.uk/blackberryZ2me_src.rar.
