Greedy monopoly Paulo Laureano www www Greedy homepage 0.5 Greedy is a 21th century monopoly game “Greedy” is a “Monopoly type of game based on 21th century economics”, featuring “several service companies”, “tax evasion opportunities” and several other modifications to the 19th century based economics model we all know and love from the previous board game incarnations.

Grotz Kevin Boone www 0.2a a Z-code interactive fiction interpreter for GTK <p>grotz is a GTK port of Frotz — the classic Z-code game engine. grotz, like Frotz, is intended for playing 'interactive fiction' games compiled for the Inform Z-machine platform. Although the Z-machine is, in a sense, an archaic and defunct platform, many games and stories were developed for it, and more continue to be written. grotz makes a reasonable job of playing most of the original Infocom games — Zork, Arthur, Lurking Horror, etc — including (to some extent) graphics and sound. The world of interactive fiction has moved on since the Infocom days, but these old games still exercise a Z-code interpreter thoroughly — more so than modern developments which rely less on the Z-machine to provide the complete user interface. util free img on on off off off off 2012-04-04 4 2012-04-07 06:21:02 33813 www mplayer (for sound) 0000-00-00 00:00:00 on
