You would need the Zoom interpreter:

This is capable of loading the game files off the LTOI discs. (Either
the Mac or PC versions.) All nice and OSX pretty.

But I don't know if it'll work with the graphical Infocom games (Zork
Zero, Journey, etc.) Haven't tried it.

someday, then the moral rot has *already* set in.

Very true, Zoom works like a dream. Glad there are other people out
there enjoying these incredible games!
