Three classic free text adventure games from the early 1980s and some extremely frightening ActionScript make, well, this. You can play all three full games in Flash. Save and restore functions are included.

Hopefully it's good for at least a little nostalgia!

"Never played it"

When I first heard the term "Zork" I thought it was that monster from "Yu-Gi-Oh", but apparently it's something else. I can say that I don't really like these games much, as there is little action. I am, of course, open-minded and I did manage to get pretty far with the right directions. It would have been better if there was some music in this or sound effects. I suppose this is a pretty good represenation of a game like this, even if I haven't played "Zork" before. It is kind of interesting to find out what will happen next.

"Excellent!"

Great work. I can imagine the tedium of having to program this, so thanks for the effort. I remember playing this game as a kid in the mid-eighties on either my dad's Macintosh or PS/2. Good Times... This is a wonderful program to engage children in an interactive literary experience. Not only is the child reading, but the story unfolds by interacting with the computer via a keyboard, as opposed to a controller. As wonderful as modern, instant-gratification games are at exercising hand-eye coordination and even spatial reasoning, old-old school games like these exercise more "right brain" faculties like imagination - imagining what the land of Great Underground Empire is like. (I always thought that, for what it was, the lore of Zork was pretty awesome).
