The iPhone App store is now carrying a nifty free version of Frotz. It comes preloaded with a bunch of interactive fiction (the MIT version of Zork, plus a bunch of modern work, including Anchorhead, Photopia, Lost Pig, The Act of Misdirection, An Act of Murder, 9:05, and Slouching Towards Bedlam).
iPhone Frotz also hooks in to a custom search on IFDB, which means that you can easily download and add new games to your game collection.
From Slovakian developer Lonely Troops comes a well-conceived turn-based wargame with something of the feel of the Panzer General series, but set on a Dune-like desert planet in the throes of an emerging war. It features a nicely intuitive interface (and a good tutorial to teach you to use it), well conceived missions, and good quality music. Fans of games like Massive Assault will find a lot to like here--and gamers who like thoughtful strategy rather than the frenetic action of the RTS will enjoy it, too.
