Whoa
I didn't even play this, but I am amazed by your dilligence. I hope this makes it to the Games page for all the people who love text adventures.
High-five.
Reviews for "Classic Zork Trilogy"
w00t!
I can't believe somebody took the time to re-create this! It is a brilliant re-construction of the original games and a joy to be able play them again on a modern machine!
I always loved the text-based games a lot due to the imagination element, everything is described to you and you can imagine it for yourself.
Though of the graphical games made, I am a big fan of Zork : Nemesis.
Excellent work with these though! They've been saved to me hard-disk so I can going!

Thanks. ^^
I agree with you on the imagination bit. One of the Infocom developers said something like "a picture is worth a thousand words, and we'd rather give you the thousand words."
....
You,...
How dit you make this...
This is awesome, I can't stop playing it!!
You are the best! You should make more of this.

Thanks. It took lots of patience (Flash's bugs manifested themselves in a big way) and the Z-machine docs.
OMFG this rocks!
I know I can get a plugin for the Firefox Browser that'll let me play the old Z-Machine games, but they don't have a cool splash background behind the text.
Do more of these. I mean it.
nightwatchy2 responds:
Thanks! I wasn't aware of the Firefox plugin, but I haven't been following the IF community very closely.
As for other games - we'll see. Unfortunately, most of the old Infocom games aren't free. There is, of course, room for original stuff (and Advent, I suppose). ^^
Great!!!
This should go on the frontpage!!! Good old Zork lives again
