The versions above are generally from the "Classic Text Adventure
Masterpieces" released by Activision in (1996) which is the source of
most modern releases.

The version of Hitchhiker is the one that Douglas Adams postedon his web
site in the mid-90s. The BBC later posted an illustrated version based
on the same game file.

The above games have been curated from here <https://eblong.com/infocom/>.
Full game documentation can be found here <https://infodoc.plover.net/>

The game files are a virtual machine code commonly known as Z-Machine, they
are portable and will run on any machine that has a Z-Machine interpreter.

All the Z3 games come with the official CP/M interpreter (Version C) last
updated by Inforcom on 5th Feb 1985

All latter games Z4, Z5,.. and above, are more sophisticated and require
a better interpreter. i.e. VEZZA.

VEZZA

Vezza is a modern Infocom/Inform/Z-machine text adventure interpreter for
8 bit z80 based computers.  What makes it modern is that it is written in
hand-crafted z80 assembler for maximum speed, and can load not only the
classics such as Zork 1,2 and 3 but also the latter games.

It can run Z1 up to Z8 inform format interactive fiction game files. To run
a game with Vezza just type Vezza followed by the game you want to run. e.g.

`VEZZA ZORK0.Z6`

**Note:** One of the bigger constraints is available RAM. An OS such as ZPM
since it uses banked RAM does have a good amount of available RAM and was
used to test these games work.

You should (test and) choose one that works on you configuration, and
ideally copy and rename it as vezza.com, so the Alias COM files can find
and execute the game.

The above is a subset of available builds. The full repository is available
