Not to be confused with The Status Line newsletter, or the status bar user interface element.

Status Line is a Z-machine interpeter for the PICO-8 fantasy console. It supports Z-machine versions 3, 4, 5, and 8, with some limitations due to the platform.

It is distributed as both a PICO-8 executable, and standalone builds for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux which do not require owning the commercial PICO-8 software.

The author has also rebuilt various Infocom games and Curses to adapt them for the small (32×21-character) screen.
