Bug#811026: ITP: zoom-player -- player for Z-Code stories or games



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Stephen Kitt <skitt@debian.org>

* Package name    : zoom-player
  Version         : 1.1.5
  Upstream Author : Andrew Hunter <andrew@logicalshift.demon.co.uk>
* URL             : http://www.logicalshift.co.uk/unix/zoom/

  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : player for Z-Code stories or games

Zoom is a player for Z-Code stories or games. These are usually text
adventures (also known as interactive fiction), made popular in the
eighties by Infocom with its Zork series of games, and others.
.
Zoom emulates versions 3 through 8 of the Z-Machine; in particular it
supports version 6 games properly.


This package will be maintained in the games team. I'm introducing it
in order to provide full support for the remaining Infocom games which
the players already in Debian can't run: Arthur, Journey, Shōgun and
Zork Zero.
