| | Frotz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Frotz is a Z-machine implementation: an adventure game engine for playing the Infocom's text adventures, as well as more recent games released by others. | | | Frotz was a verb in MIT slang, meaning "to play with" or "to manipulate". | | | One of the strangest is also one of the simplest: an instant messenger bot is wrapped around a version of Frotz with the bare minimum of IO functionality creating a bot with which one can play most Z-machine games using an instant messenger. |
