Think of an interpreter as an eBook reader like a Kindle or even something as simple as the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Howard’s interactive fiction titles are based on the Z-Machine model invented by Infocom (see above). The interpreter is the eBook reader that loads the story and makes it possible for you to interact with it. The Z-Machine is a virtual standard allowing Howard to write a single interactive fiction title that can be loaded on any computer, Blackberry smart phones, the Palm Pre, the iPhone and so on.
