Sadly Slj the inform community do not like Eamon, which is why ports have been so few.
the eventual intention with eamon deluxe was to port all of the classic games, which was actua,lly going well af a few years ago, but as I said I don't know where development is now and sadly nobody really has got involved in much else with Eamon.
The one problem with emulation, is that the best copy of the eamon main hall was the graphical one. In the bog standard bare bones text version, there is no way to improve your character between adventures or get better weapons, one reason why people tended to either load a super strong character from another disk or the like.
for me a major plus in Eamon deluxe is that you can take a bog standard character with below average attributes, run them through some beginner level adventures and have them grow stronger, similarly use the gold you get for successfully completing eamon quests to buy better weapons and armour rather than having to cheat them into existence.
Plus of course, when porting the games to the edx system, frank Black made some changes and additions as well, indeed in some of the adventures like the Jim Jacobson ones he virtually rewrote separate adventures into an onrunning story.
I do still have hopes he'll materialize again, and then hopefully not only go on porting more classic Eamons to edx, but also create a talking version of edx which is as universally compatible as the standard one.
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
