Z machine for the Mac

By X2, 18 April, 2020

macOS and Mac Apps

Hi all, hope everyone’s doing good.
So I’ve had my MacBook Pro for a few months now and really like it. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to play Z machine games on the Mac? maybe like a program or website would be fine. Something like frotz. I have frotz on my phone and really enjoy it but it gets pretty tiring using the on-screen keyboard, even with the shortcuts that come with the app. Does anything like this exist for the Mac? If so, can you please light the way?
I’d highly Appreciate any advice that I can get. Thanks, stay safe, and have a good day.

There is Frotz on the Mac, but not sure if it's accessible. I know it works on Windows with NVDA.

Wow really? I wasn’t aware that there was Frotz for the Mac. I’ll definitely be checking that out. Thanks for the tip.

Frotz can be used in the command line, which is accessible… for this at least, I hope… Just install it with Homebrew, then do

frotz game.z5

O wow really? I didn't know that Frotz could be installed that way. I'll definitely try it and see if it works. Thank you.
