To play a work like this one, you need an interpreter program: we suggest Windows Glulxe for Windows, or Zoom for Mac OS. Birmingham IV is in Glux format, which, unfortunately, older interpreters such as WinFrotz cannot deal with.
Or you can play without downloading anything by following the 'Play In-Browser'
link, using the Quixe interpreter. You'll need to have Javascript enabled
on your web browser.
Birmingham IV was created with Inform and has IFID 0FAC9BE8-6605-476C-8F5E-7A8B7094096E.
