Text Games Coming to Your iPod

[wraggster]

Howard Sherman is hoping to convince people that their iPods and cell phones aren't just for music or phone calls. Instead, he'd like you to use yours to fight dragons and solve murder mysteries.

A lifelong computer-game player, Sherman spends his professional life talking up the nostalgic charm of old-fashioned text-based games. His company, Malinche Entertainment, has produced several titles similar to old Infocom text games such as the legendary Zork. While the company has found a niche market selling these retro games for computers, Sherman is hoping to exploit new devices to reinvigorate the genre.

Yep, you can actually download iStory Creator (I've forgotten where from) to make your own text adventures or download other peoples and then transfer them to your iPod. I was working on a kind of manager game called Liverpool FC Manager 2005 but I haven't added anything to it for ages
