Description
Blorb is a container file format for packaging Interactive Fiction (IF) games with external resources, such as sound and 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.
