Seeing that the Kindle has free internet, and a nifty keyboard, those old school text adventure games is perfect for the Kindle's experimental browser.

Give it a spin, let us know what you think and/or how we can improve it!

thanks!

Quite cool, but i think the server-roundtrip makes it a bit slow. I like the idea of a site adapted to the kindle (because scrolling in parchment is a pain).

You might consider using gnusto like parchment, because it allows offline play. http://gnusto.mozdev.org/code/felapton.html

Also, the fonts didn't look very clear on the kindle 3.

I'm looking forward to playing Suspended again (I never actually managed to complete it, but it's been a few years so i might solve it this time).
