Barebones Frotz platform

a return to the golden era of bootable games

This builds a .izo image that can be booted in a VM to run a .z5 program.

Features

  • standalone image--only an x86 hypervisor required to play
  • instantly boots directly into game
  • minimal extraneous code
  • no closed-source software except for game itself
  • original z-code file easily identifiable and extractable via .zip

To use the resulting .izo

  1. (optional) truncate --size=1MB savedisk.img
  2. qemu-system-i386 -cdrom LostPig.izo [-hda savedisk.img]
