Online Game Limitations

Flat Earth Games Adventure Online uses a Java applet to run the original z-code games. Z-code is the language originally created by Infocom to create the Zork games and is completely independent of the engine running it (sort of like Java!). There are some limitations and requirements that you will need before you play the games:

  • The Java applet requires a fairly recent version of Java, so it will only work with version 4.x + of either Netscape or Internet Explorer.
  • Due to Java security restrictions, SAVE and RESTORE do not work (so don't try it, it will crash the game). If this poses a problem you should get a z-code interpreter for your type of computer, download the z-code from Flat Earth Games, and run it locally so ALL functions will work.

That said, enjoy the games!
