DosBox Based

Ok, Still working this one out

Terminal Based

Method

https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd

Download and install the ttyd terminal emulator:

sudo snap install ttyd --classic

Note that the instructions have you download the latest release but it doesn't seem to use it during the install.

Manual page is here: https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd/blob/main/man/ttyd.man.md

Z-Machine Based

The Frotz interpreter: https://gitlab.com/DavidGriffith/frotz

Get Infocom games in 'z' format: https://eblong.com/infocom/#zork1

The Frotz interpreter can be run on a terminal. To get it on the website, use the ttyd application.

Perhaps an easier approach is to convert the 'z' files directly to HTML:
