== Description ==
Blorb is a container file format for packaging [[Interactive Fiction]] (IF) games with external resources, such as [[Audio|sound]] and [[Graphics|image] files. It was developed by Andrew Plotkin. Blorb is primarily used for packaging [[Z-code]] and [[Glulx]] IF games, but it is possible to use it for other formats as well.

== Extensions ==
*.blb
*.blorb
*.zblorb/.zlb (used to indicate Z-code)
*.gblorb/.glb (used to indicate Glulx)

== Interpreters ==
To play an IF game packaged as a Blorb file, you need an interpreter for the base IF file. See [[Z-code]] and [[Glulx]] for appropriate interpreters.
