"Never played it"

by: Ericho

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.

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).

Score: 10

I remember playing Zork I on my TRS-80. Almost brings tears to my eyes. Other comments where correct. Needs the orig. map.
