    Late comment, I know, but what knowledge is needed to turn Frotz into a Win 8 app (x86 & Arm)? I’d love to play the old Infocom classics on my Surface RT (without a hack).
    Thanks.

      My bet is that the Frotz app would be quite simple to port to Windows 8. But only the original app developer could answer that question as only he has the code…
