If the games are in the format of a data file (usually "Story.data" or
something similar) and an interpreter, then all you need do is get a copy
of the data file onto your PC. Then you can use any of the freely distributable
interpreters available (eg. InfoTaskForce v4.01) to run it. As for getting the
file to the PC, I'm afraid you're on your own.
