Why Have a News Page?

With all the blogging, Twittering, MySpace-ing and Facebooking Howard does on a daily basis it seems almost redundant to keep a news page.  Malinche fans often hear the latest news before Malinche's own webmaster!

Here's something newsworthy - Saints in Sin City is on sale now!

"Do it Now"

That's been one of our founder's guiding principles for decades.  But sometimes he forgets.  In the back of his mind for months was the idea to sell Malinche merchandise like shirts, bags, mugs and more.

Finally having stared at "Open Cafe Press Store" on his to-do list for far too long, Howard pulled the trigger this morning and authorized the launch of our official merchandise shop powered by the quality and professionalism of Cafe Press.

Feel free to browse our new Malinche Entertainment Swag Shop now.

Fiction on Phones

Enjoy any of our Interactive Fiction titles on your iPhone, your iPod Touch or Your Blackberry!

Interactive Fiction on Your iPhone or iPod Touch

Step 1 - Purchase and Download your iPhone/iPod Touch Games Right Here.

You purchase our iPhone and iPod Touch games here from our online store - not from the iTunes Store. While our titles run on Windows, Mac, the Nintendo DS, almost any Blackberry and a dozen other platforms you won't need anything except the "story file" of any Malinche title you own.  The next step explains why.

Step 2 - Download the Free Frotz Interpreter for your iPhone/iPod Touch

You will need to download the Frotz interpreter for the iPhone and iPod Touch - it's a free download in the iTunes Store. Frotz is the "loader" program that will play our story files on your iPhone and iPod Touch. Frotz for iPhone/iPod Touch comes bundled with some free games written by amateurs. Most are tiny compared to Malinche Interactive Fiction titles and nearly all of them are boring. No worries, though.  That's why Malinche is here! Download Frotz for Your iPhone or iPod Touch here.

Step 3 - Transfer Your Malinche Titles to your iPhone/iPod Touch

You will need a copy of FileMagnet running on both your computer (Mac or Windows) and your iPhone or iPod Touch. FileMagnet is how you can transfer our story files from your computer to your iPhone or iPod Touch so Frotz can load them and you can enjoy them.

Step 4 - Enjoy our Interactive Fiction Titles on Your iPhone!

Interactive Fiction on Your Blackberry

ZaxMidlet Installer - This allows you to play text adventure games and Interactive Fiction on Your Blackberry! The ZaxMidlet Over The Air (OTA) Installer is here. Which one to use? They both do the same thing but the OTA installer is probably easier to use because you just need to surf to this page from your Blackberry, click on the OTA installer link and you're all set to enjoy Interactive Fiction on your Blackberry!
