To run an Infocom game like The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy on your Mac OS X machine, you don't need to configure a Mac emulator to play these games. 'Zoom' is an interpreter for z-code games on Mac OS X.
Hint:
To get the games recognized by Zoom, please add the extension ".z5" (without quotes) to the application name.
A note about the manual file available from above:
This is a PDF'ed version of the Readme file found in the latest version available.

Comments
I just wanted to say that the embedded web browser that was used to download games inside Zoom is now incompatible iFDB. It's really sad because I used to use it flawlessly on my G3 running 10.4.
Since the Logical Shift site has gone, I've uploaded the interpreter to this very place.
