- All the old Infocom games are in a machine-independant format. You just need to
- copy the data files (*.dat files from the PC) onto your Amiga, and play them
- with a suitable interpreter. I suggest Frotz, available from Aminet as

- : Will it work for all of them?

- Yes, except the V6 (graphical) games Infocom released at the very end. These are
- Zork0 (Lost Treasures I), and Shogun, Journey and Arthur (LT2, CD only). Frotz
- does not support these (yet).
