You might be the ideal play-tester! I think it would be valuable to get the perspectives from a newcomer such as yourself.
Please say yes!

That's one of the coolest things about my games -- they can be played on almost ANY computer that can run a Z-Machine interpreter (and that's like... every computer on the planet)
I think you already installed Frobnits (or other Z Machine interpreter) on your PDA. If so, you're all set.
Email me -- howard@malinche.net and I'll send you the latest beta.
And yes, I'll be happy to help you out with hints/tips/etc. to help you get through. I'm sure you'll do fine.
Thanks for lending a hand!
Howard

Status : Online | hello Howard... ! My only concern is that I am a little busy nowadays (work, study, etc) but if you are not in a hurry I will be glad to test your game. Of course you can trust me concerning confidentiality. As it was said by Gamaholic, most probably I will ask you about hints, tips, etc. Please email me at rpautassi@immf.uncor.edu or rpautassi@hotmail.com.

Status : Online | Howard, i'm an absolute newbie if it comes to playing IF. I still want to give it a try if you need any more newbies... I haven't played 'Penatari' though. (Although I started playing today...)
Probably it will take some time for me to learn the 'standard commands' in the game, but I'd love to try it. Finally a game you can play in your bed, using a laptop since you don't need a mouse ...

Hi Howard
I was just wondering. Do you have any graphics at all in your games?
I played a few text adventure games but the ones I liked the best were like LSL 2 that had a little crude graphics to kind of reward you when you typed what to needed to get the charator to do something. There was also Jinkster and Dungeon Quest witch you may have heard of with very limited graphics. If I remember right the early Zork games didn't have any graphics at all.
