I believe someone was working on a HyperCard GS version of Eamon a few
years ago; I'm not sure if it was finished. It'd be pretty slow, of course. :)

A nice GS interpreter wouldn't be too bad, at least for the later Eamons
(some of which are very nice). I was never too impressed with the earlier
ones; some of the adventure ideas were well done, but the software itself
was just too limiting (said by someone who played and enjoyed every Scott
Adams adventure).
