Which flavor of the game did you download? Zoom creates an embedded browser which dumps you to the interactive fiction database. Once you find a game you like they offer it in several formats for download. You want to be sure to grab the zmachine version.

Zoom was OK, but I couldn't get it to download any of the games I wanted from it's online portal which I'm assuming is ifarchive. After trying about 10 games and not finding one that would download I gave up.

The frotz version is OK. Zoom for mac is amazingly good though, I recommend it over the other for iOS though.

Harry,
There's froths. I know you said you weren't interested in the iOS side of things. they do have an iOS version of it, but they might do a mac version as well, I think I remember somebody saying there was awhile back. There are tons of games that come with it.

Hello,

Is anyone familiar with how to play text adventure games on OSX under Mountain Lion? I am interested in the Desktop platform rather than the mobile side of things, but either would work.

I looked on ifarchive.org <http://ifarchive.org> and it looks like the interpreters are for much older versions of the Mac, like 10.3 and earlier. I like text adventures and would like to check them out again.

Thanks,

Harry
