There is one company that does interactive fiction. Some titles I remember are Legend of Mystaris: Flame of the Illean, Legend of Mystaris: Lord of Blackskull Keep, Goblin Bane, and the Magical Pond.

I hate to say this, but I would stay away from Crimson Fire. Right now, Solskia isn't finished (started over two years ago), Kyle's Quest Dungeon (started over a year ago) isn't finished, Kyle's Quest 2 (isn't playable unless you have the old version because of incompatible levels), and the list goes on.

I have one word for you "Scumm", well actually another springs to mind "Sarien" and top that off with freeSCI and pocketDos and you have all the adventure games you can ever play. Scumm being Lucas arts adventure game interpreter (Monkey islands, maniac mansion, day of the tentacle, sam and max etc.) Sarien for Leisure suit larry, Space Quests I and II and a bunch of kings quests. freeSCI for newer Sierra games. PocketDos for the ones that do not fit here, pretty much anything running under dos and MCGA, EGA or CGA. Naturally you need the original games to play them with the interpreters, but thats not really a problem, since you can get nice collections of Sierra and Lucas arts games for very reasonable prices nowadays even from shops not to mention ebay.
At least Scumm and Sarien sound and look absolutely like the originals (adlib midi + full speech) actually Sarien makes Sierra games look better than the originals because of more advanced screen drawing routines.
SCUMM is good, very good ... but I have an even better word for you: Infocom
:approve:
There are z-machine interpreters out there for Pocket PC which allow you the Infocom PPC experience ... Just get yourself your copy of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", "Stationfall" or "Zork" out of the attic and start transcribing as fast as you can. Well, a real keyboard might help in this case.
It is actually a bit difficult to find, since they do not have the binary yet on freeSCI main site. You can find it here: http://pocketinsanity.sourceforge.ne...ontent=freesci
Oh, and a word of advice, be extra careful with the config file line endings, they have to exactly like in the original one (also nonprinting characters) or the software doesn't work.
It's a tad slow on my ipaq 3950, waiting for my Axim to see if it any faster there.
