I don’t want to turn CG into iPhoneAppCentral.com, but this is too good to pass up. They’ve ported Frotz to the iPhone so now you can “GO EAST” and “PICK UP SWORD” all from the comfort of your glossy touchscreen.

My only issue with this is typing. Even after using the iPhone for a few weeks, I still couldn’t get a good typing speed going. I’d hate to sit there hunting and pecking through Planetfall and accidentally kill Fred. Maybe someone should try that thumb operation after all.
