About Gelek

App to be able to play interactive fiction games from Level 9 Computing.
Import games, manage save files, read company info, instructions for all games, access to most common action on bottom edge menu (or right side if in convergence mode).

Known issue:
*For a smooth experience disable predictive text and other aids in System Settings > Language and Text*
- Games with more than file, ie: game.dat game.cga game.hrc, can be tared (no gzip) in one file and renamed: game.tar.l9
Also, importing first image files and last .dat files will make images work
- Games with more than 1 picture file, you'll have to import manually pictures files. They will be only one game pictures available. Sorry

If you don't have any game to test try https://bit.ly/SnoballL9
